Breathing heavy

[Sterling]

While teaching my grey to fly and land short distances I noticed she is breathing heavy. After a few short flights she is tired. She is back to normal after a minute or so. Is this normal?

[Dave007]

Yes it is normal and will lessen as you continue the lessons. Describe what you mean by *tired*.

[Sterling]

After three or four flights she wants to stop taking flight?

[Dave007]

That's not *tired*. Your bird needs a little rest ( 10 minutes) after each lesson. If your bird is clipped, it will need an even longer rest. If your bird is new to all of this flight training, she needs time to absorb each lesson and reassure herself that it's not gonna hurt. Slow it down a bit.

Will do, thanks
