Aw thank you for mentioning my Ecko, how sweet! It may look like he has a lot of room to fly but my apartment is pretty small so it really is not much space. Ecko also hovers, sometimes when he turns around or when he tries to land on me when I'm walking. I think the most important thing about learning how to fly is getting the landing down right. If Spock can land safely and not crash to the floor then he should be fine. As long as he is flying a little he is still gaining muscles but not as fast as a bird that flies all day, he is just gaining it slowly.
When are you going to start taking Spock outside? That would be great exercise for him. I take Ecko out in his harness all the time. For some reason when I put it on him he doesn't really want to fly in it. So I practice with him by dropping my hand down while he perches on my finger and he flaps his wings for balance. Sometimes he takes off and flies around me in circles, I was scared at first because I didn't know how to stop him, but I lowered the leash and it brought him down to the grass and he landed safely.
Anyways, good luck with Spock flying. That is a very cute pic of him by the way. Its scary how much he looks like Ecko :laugh:<br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/05/10 04:39
