Hi, I have an male eclectus who was already clipped when I bought him march 20, 2011.
He has grown back 5 or 6 of his flight feathers and he can glide/fly now. He isnt able to fly off on his own. He only flies when he sits on his javatree and has a good height.
This week I was standing in the livingroom and starting calling his name and: come here! And showing him a nut. He first hesitated but then he flew of the tree straight towards me.
Only he didnt flew on or near my hand, he just made a sharp turn when he got close to me and landed savely near me on the ground. He did this a few times more over the week whenever I called him
My question is, how do I teach him to fly better or that he can land on items (or hand)?
I have no idea if he has had the oppertunity to learn how to fly before I got him but I guess not.
