Teaching my bird to fly
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2018 9:57 pm
So here s a little back story.
I met my partner 6 years ago and he had a white eyed conure that he has left in its cage for 9-ish years.
We moved into a condo 5 years ago and the bird stayed with his parents. While his parents were on vacation a year ago, I was watching their house for them and decided to take this aggressive bird out of his cage to see what would happen and HE FELL IN LOVE WITH ME! This bird bonded to me from the moment I picked him up and still has that same bond to this day. My partner still will try and pick him up, but Casey (the bird) will aggressively try to attack him and everyone else. I am just glad that he is now in our home and loves to take showers and play.
I want to know how I can encourage him to fly. He is used to being in a small cage (now he is in a cage that is 6.5 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 3.5 feet deep) and used to having his wings clipped. I let his wings grow out so he could get proper exercise, but he doesnt seem to know how. Is there a way that I can show him that he has an ability that he doesnt know of?
Thanks!
