Advanced Indoor Flight Training Parrots (Day 2/3)

Comments (1)

By Michael Sazhin

Tuesday February 22nd, 2011

During the 2nd and 3rd flight training sessions, little progress has been made. Of course the additional flight recalls and environmental experience were valuable.

On the second day, there happened to be a basketball game going on in the gym above. Every bounce of the ball along with endless stomping was heard. The birds did not do well during this, however, they did get partially desensitized and they did very well once the noises ended.

Truman had a few successful flights down from the beams but then again he was going up there an awful lot as well. Also, on one of his reckless flights he hit the mirror. He did not hit it all that hard and bounced off. He was more surprised about what happened than hurt. That was the first and last time he hit a mirror during these training sessions. Kili had the same thing happen to her during the first flight session.

Not every session will bring new progress. However, if you don't keep trying, you won't know which sessions are going to be the breakthroughs.

When you recalled Truman it looked like he was flying to your reflection in the mirror. Glad he was ok, enjoying your videos.
