So you wanna train recall? Thereās a dark side of ambition!
What happens when a wildly hormonal parrot intersects with flighted recall training?
Beautiful, joyful, BIG leaps in training. And one big pain the the @$$.
Now that heās hormonal he is DESPERATE to be with us, and has energy for days. Iāve harnessed this to increase Our flight training, and heās doing stuff now heās never done, lots of descending flights, farther flights than heās ever done. big leaps Hormones have created amazing motivation I havenāt been able to otherwise create.
Until now he flies to me because I tell him to, but otherwise had no Added interest. but Iāve created a monster! Heās discovered his wings, and has begun to realize he can use the wings for his own means, not just for training. So he now has some moderate stationing issues, flying off his main stand about 1 out of 3 times we put him there hoping heāll chill.
Why canāt he just stay put :headwall:
So you wanna train flighted recall? In the immortal words of the *****cat dolls, be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it, and then some. Cause they will discover their wings and itās a whole new ball game.
