Hey Y’all,

    I would like to post My new training plan to train/teach my Blue and gold macaw Azaria flighted recall landing and flight in general. This plan is subject to change.

I will first focus on solidifying the walking and stretching recall and work on getting her to Hop/jump to my hand.

I will also work on recall around playgyms and other locations.

To work on landing I will be gently setting her down on the bed (as discribed in the article  “training sedetary parrots to fly” by Mandy Andrea) and increase the distance as seems appropiate.

I will also be taching her to hop off of my lap by tossing treats on the floor and increasing the distance she must hop (also described in the article “training sedetary parrots to fly” by Mandy Andrea)

I will be teaching her to touch her wing to the target stick to get her used to opening her wings  

I will be having 2-3 sessions a day dedicated to training recall. Depending on the day I’ll also have another training session that will be for teaching other behaviors.

I would like to thank My good friends Hugh, Dana, and Raz for helping me get the plan together.
