Awh lovely videos! Glad to see that you're working on outdoor recall. I think allowing birds to fly outside is wonderful :)

It's great that you're practising on coming down! A lot of people will recall train their birds and completely miss that out. Say they start free flying and the bird goes in to a tree, they've got absolutely no idea how to get out of it :rolleyes: I think it's essential! I taught my Alexandrine to descend and when he escaped he flew down in to somebodies garden as he saw them having some food and drink outside!

I was just testing him out and he did it for the 1st time. I was so proud of him.

I am now training him not to fly out of house just in case the door is opened by accident or I forget to close the door. My previous grey, Cocoa won't fly out of the house even I opened the door. When I came home, she would fly to the curtain, hanging there to greet me home. When I opened the door with her exposed to outside, she wouldn't take the opportunity to fly away. I hope Kilaya will do that too one day.

Glad that you found your Alex.

I'm sure she will pick up on that too, she is very clever from what it seems! And thank you :)

Oh my gosh that hoodie! Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking :D?

That's good! I do the same with my birds of prey. I start from the beginning. I give them a little whistle when they eat from me and then just extend that to when I want them to come to me. If they're up in the trees and I can't see them all too good they'll start to look for me!
