I tried to attach this photo to my previous post but could not do it. Trying again now. This is a photo of Rishi with my wife at the beach.

Thats a good picture of Rishi and your wife, she is a lovely woman and the grey isn't half bad either:blush: thanks for sharing it with us and I wish I was at the beach, oh well, in a couple of weeks, yes!

Fab photo, I am so jealous. I haven't seen the sun in over a week now and have had snow storms the last few days.

 

That is one fine looking grey, looks like Rishi knows how to pose for the camera.

WOW. how did u manage 2 train him not 2 fly away?

Well its a beautiful picture of your wife and Rishi, but dont you put a harness on your grey? I would hate to think you would lose him.

 

If he got spooked at all he would be gone!

Beautiful photo of you two lovely family members. :-)

 

As others commented, it is rather shocking to see an untethered bird outdoors. It brings some bad memories to those of us whom had a clipped bird supposedly unflighted, fly away.

 

Thanks for sharing the photo.

Very nice photo please harrness train your Grey all it takes is a one loud noise and a bit of wind and your bird could be lost forever.

Thanks everyone. I thought a clipped bird couldn't fly. I have ordered the aviator harness and now after all your advice I will wait for it to arrive and get him used to it before taking him out.

That is a myth that people think that a clipped bird cannot fly but with being spooked and a little wind they can indeed go a distance and get up into a tree. Its akin to us when we get scared and do things we thought we were incapable of doing, adrenaline kicks in and we surprise ourselves.

You have a lovely wife and a very handsome grey. I am so happy you have decided to harness Rishi. Such a handsome grey should never be without the people who love him.

great looking picture!!! I love beach pics

[JillyBeanz]

What a lovely picture - but I too shuddered when I saw no harness. Harvey's got a fright a couple of times when on his - and normally sits so still - he would have flown away was it not for the aviator.

 

Well done though for being scared into submission and buying one!

Love the picture and Richi looks great...I would still be concerned og him being there without a Harness...just be careful..

Hi Ranaz, thanks. That was the only time i did that. At that time, I thought it was safe since he was clipped until I got some advice from other experienced members.

 

I bought the Aviator a few months back, but Rishi refused to tolerate it. I am still working on it. I hope he eventually comes to at least tolerate it so that I can take him out.
