As always, your correct on your thinking. If you notice, Diego fly's slow and on a angle head high, in their natural habitat, they fly from branch to branch, short winded stuby little guys, lol and bulky for there size. You have to train Diego how to fly down, suggestion, sit on the floor, with him on the top of his cage, have a treat,click, or what ever you use, and train him to fly down to you, some Zon's learn this quickly...Jayd
