I want to set up a forum wide challenge!On flight recall.

I don't know how many times Ice has flown from me, and i want her to come back but she won't.

I'm wanting to try to get people together to share the experiences of the training. And to share techniques

If no one wants to try, I will just update on her training. :)

Anyone want to join me?

Mine will fly to me just over a short distance but only cause they're clipped. My hawk will fly from like a mile away though hahahah

I'm actually thinking that because it is summer now, there are doors sometimes left open because my family is oblivious to what I tell them and they leave the doors open any way:rolleyes: and ice flys downstairs all the time even though she isn't supposed to.

This recall thing may have to wait, it isn't safe for her to be flying like a nut ball around the house.

What do you guys think?

I don't know if it's worth it. One really good idea might be to keep her flying in one room (your bedroom or something)to you until you have it going really well and THEN fly her in other rooms and stuff. That way if she was to get out there is always the possibility she could fly back to you if she has a hand signal or whistle etc etc? If you clip her, she'd have to start all over again and then you'd be in the same situation next year :eek:

I say, keep her flighted. Be careful where you fly her! Only ever fly her in enclosed rooms. Then when the time comes let her fly around the house with you supervising obviously and get her flying to you. Then when spring and summer come back around you can have some idea of how she'd act outside

Thank you all for your help!
I always train in my room, no where else.. She doesn't concentrate anywhere else.LOL

But I'm talking about when she has out of cage times , and she is just chilling other cage, if she gets excited or spooked she books it down stairs. And it just isnt safe for her down there in the summer

I would totally do this once Duke's wings have come in, he already tries to fly to me, and I have a behaviour he does with me where I can call him to a place on the couch, give him the cue, and he hops up onto my hand. (And no, the cue isnt step up, he jumps up lol)

So today I taught Phoenix to fly to where I point which he picked up pretty quickly basically id point n tell him "fly to...." the first few times he didn't get it so I placed him where I wanted him n gave him appraisal after a few more times he understood that I wanted him to fly to where I pointed. He still has not flown to me but if I try to get him to fly in the living room he'll u turn and come to me so I've been rewarding him for flying to me so that when he feels more confident in his flying abilities he'll fly to me from his cage n stuff. Pointing to the destination and tons of appraisal works wonders he gets soo excited he'll puff up his chest like he's king of the world and then he says "what a good boy Phoenix, your so cute" lol guess he likes to praise himself lol :rofl:

They are expensive but he's a sweetie honestly I don't get how ppl say their moody or nippy phoenix is never moody unless he doesn't get his full nights rest then u can bet it all dayy he'll b loud n grumpy but who isn't right? N he NEVER bites hard he'll play but if I say NO he stops lol I love him :p

Ice's training has gone well,
For right now I have her jumping/flying between two play stands.. And I adjust the distances between the two.

I use the target stick to lead her to the other play stand, and when she touches the stick she gets a treat. So far she is doing great!!

Phoenix is gettin used to flying to me, I tried to get him to fly from me to my brother n from him to me but hell fly towards him do u-turn and come to me :lol: I guess it's working cuz at least he's flying to me and he gets so excited he was in the air flying to me and as he was landing he said "whattttttt" lol which is what he says as I'm like wooooow good boy. And if my brother gets him to fly to me he has no problem he'll come right to me so I'm proud, he's picking up real fast and he's starting to get more comfortable with flying. ;) I'm a very proud momma

Ok so I started getting Phoenix flying from chair to chair it took him a while to get used to taking off on his own but his confidence is growin which is good. So later today I started to get him from a chair to me which he will do for nutriberries :lol: I'm so proud :biggrin5: It funny cuz I was fixing up his treat bowl with some treats and he was watching me and I can see he wanted to fly cuz he'd spread his wings but he waited so I out my hand out and called him and he came lol the things they'll do for some good treats;)
