Is trainning flight parrot harder than non flight parrot?

[Cozzy]

I am wondering if trainning flight parrot harder than non flight parrot. Nearly all my local friends believe non flight parrot is easier to train.

It's easier to train a flighted parrot. You don't have to bend over to pick things up and it comes to you to get its treats

[Titanius]

It's worse when your parrot still thinks it can fly... If you don't have it's attention it'll just jump off into the air and flutter ungracefully to the ground. I seriously can't wait till Jasper can fly.

My are flight brid and the is semi flight......
and I am thinking about triming or not triming

[Michael]

We cannot answer that question for you, it is something you have to decide for yourself based on your birds, environment, and most importantly yourself. We can just tell you many reasons that aren't really worth clipping over and some that might be. However, you have to weigh all the arguments and decide for yourself.

Yet, I don't think I can ever recommend clipping. I will recommend changing everything but the bird to make not-clipping work out.

[Cozzy]

Understood, I tend to like not clipping.......My question now is how to keep them concentrate in the trainning and not flying away?

[Michael]

I already explained to you that keeping them concentrated on training really has nothing to do with clipping or not. Even if a parrot is clipped, after it gets bored of training, it will not learn and will not participate anyway so no progress is made. The unclipped parrot just flies away. That's a bit more obvious of a sign than still standing there but not doing anything. It's all about finding ways to motivate your parrot to train in general rather than trying to force them not to fly away.
