I own a Yellow Naped Amazon named Oliver. He's four years old, and I realize I need to start teaching him interesting tricks (he knows step-up, and is fairly well mannered). I was looking through the site, and I saw flight recall. The teaching methods make perfect sense, but I wasn't sure if they'll work on a bird who has no idea that he has the ability to fly. I had his wings clipped once, and he started plucking afterwards so we've been sort of battling with that. He's almost completely stopped plucking and most of his feather have grown back, but because he didn't have flight feathers for so long, he never really learned to fly. Sometimes when he's startled his jump from his perch and flap wildly, but he just drops the the floor essentially. I'm not sure how to begin training him.
Thank you a ton!
