Like mammals, birds can be taught to perform what we want them to do. I had done the same routine over and over with them at the same place until I was very sure they could do it without the leash. One of the conures was a bit playful. He wanted to do it his own way. As long as he stays within the playground it is fine with me. Besides free flying them at the playground, I take them for outdoor walk regularly in their hearnesses. The more they go out the calmer they will become. This will help to minimize the risk. I have seen some of my friends who could take their birds out to anywhere without harness. I wouldn't dare to take such risk.
