Teaching Recall

[ParrotsForLife]

Any of you know how to get a bird to fly a little gap im trying to teach Rocko flight recall but he tries to find a way across but he wont fly across a little gap but he can fly around the room I want him to know flight recall because it will be useful when we go to the park.

Since this is really is Michael's forte and not mine you might find what you are looking for here

Ill try that but I dont have 2 training perches and I think Michaels is a bit expensive so im gonna use the back of two chairs.

Ok I tried it with two chairs and he was flying across then I increased the distance and he was doing great and then I removed the target stick and pointed and called his name he done brilliantly im gonna do it again later and remove one chair in the process.

So I offered him my arm and he flew across when I called him now im gonna continue doing it without the chair.

Sounds like you have it working just fine. Way to go !

While it seems like you have it worked out I'm just curious if you were using a target stick. If not, you might want to go back and try it that way. I've found the target stick to be invaluable in all training.
