Parrots are getting very popular in Malaysia. Most of us own more than 2 parrots. Free fly is not popular here yet. There are only a handful of people who free fly their parrots. Unlike in our neighboring countries, Thailand and Singapore, there are free fly groups. Free flying in Malaysia is only confined to some individuals. I can't tell how they would feel if they lose their parrots. Every individual feels for his/ her parrots differently.
In Asian countries we have the advantage of buying babies as young as 2 weeks old. I was told the best way to train the birds to free fly is during hand feeding period. And choosing the species to free fly is also very important. According to a friend, he has never lost a conure before. He has trained many conures to free fly. Conures are the best small parrot to free fly.
Another guy prefers to free fly macaws. He has a few free flying macaws. According to him, macaws are the best large parrots to free fly. He would select to potential babies and would sell the non potential ones away.
