Kai recalls and 'goes back' to his cage quite well on cue so I've started working on his downward recall. I figure, if I'm going to keep a small flighted parrot, I want to best equip him with the knowledge to fly and arm both of us with the skills necessary should (heaven forbid) he ever get loose outside. I REALLY want to find a gym or a classroom or something that I could fly him in. Get him used to flying in larger spaces.
Just working on 'Come on' and 'Go back' in this one. He responds really well with verbal praise and sometimes a small jingly toy as 'bait'.
More basic recall stuff, with an added switch up at the end. Thought I'd see if I could get him to carry stuff while flying! Completely spur of the moment, but what can I say? He's a smart cookie!
Any thoughts?
