I'd never thought about it much before, training my Amazon to go outside. From what I had seen, I was put under the impression that free flight and very heavy recall training was the standard for this sorta thing, and harnesses could be harmful or restrictive. I'm not even entirely sure where I got the idea, really. After looking at the forum further it seems that harnesses are probably the only safe method for it, unless I'm mistaken. In any case, how would I even go about flight and recall training? I know about getting birds used to stuff like harnesses, where you first let them see it, then introduce it to them bit by bit before ever letting them get near it, let alone in it. I'm still curious, though. I was thinking maybe I could take advantage of the fact that my Amazon is still fairly young (roughly 4 years) so I could train her. She really does love flying, but there's only so much house space. Also, what would be good harnesses? I am very aware that birds have complex breathing systems that you should be very careful not to restrict, so I suppose I'm just a bit worried that the wrong choice could harm her. Thank you!!
Also I still need to get her properly recall trained... she mostly only does it when my mom or nanny (main caretaker) call her since she likes them more... jajaj...
