    Do your birds fly to you...

    Do your birds fly to you because you call them or, because they want to be ON you? That's my question of the day. Sassy is like flys on doo when she is out, reminds me of iron ore coming to a magnet, she's hard to shake and makes me think she would be a good candidate for free flight but she is way too small for that venture.
    Amigo comes when I call and I think it's because he wants to be with me but he is not cloyingly clingy like my Sassy girl.

    If Codie is on his Playstand and I am on the computer, then he flys to me. If I go into the kitchen , he will follow, fly onto the worktop. where he watches intently what I am doing. If I go to the other end of the kitchen, then he will fly over to me. He does not fly to me if I call him though. He just looks at me lol

    My Pebbles flies to my shoulder from her birdroom playgym. She only does that when I am within her sight otherwise she plays on the gym. I use that time to flip and fly her for exercise since I know she will come right back for more.

    Wendy, you are part of his flock or mate, probably mate. My human mate will act similarly!

    Hi Macawfancy, how do you flip and fly a bird? I'm not sure what that means?

    Owen [my Rb2] is the first bird to fly [for me] with some kind of direction. He flys to an area he wants to be [mostly near me] .I can get him to fly to me [with coaxing]. Pearl [the Goffin] is pretty tame too. He flys to the playstand when I want him to.

    I guess I would have to call Sassy a Velcro bird, she does have to be pealed off at times. Owen sounds amazing, I'm so happy for you that he is doing well and it looks like Pearl is a happy guy too!

    Quincy is my Velcro. He doesn't fly on me
    Has done that maybe a couple of times in 13 years. He mostly flies near me or gets off his cage and walks to me. He used to never make it a habit to walk on the floor, but has been doing it a lot lately. I would like to teach him recall training. I need to go on you tube and find a video on how to start.

    Out of 13 birds, only one wants to be on me enough to fly to me. Tex wants to be on a person at all times. Lucy wants to be on Jerry sometimes but won't fly to him.

    I think by flip and fly it's like, they fly to you, you throw them so they go back to where they were at, and fly back to you again. Like flipping the bird around to fly back to you again.

    We do this for exercise with monkeybutt Merlin; he HAS to be on someone and is very rarely settled without (or at least very near) so we make him work off his weight by doing what I said above
