Beautiful Amazon Free Flight Video

OMG How cute and funny!!!!! I get so sad that my birds can't fly free. I wish they could soar up in the sky and feel what it is like to really stretch their wings, especially Hardy. Hardy would be my rescued LCA who was wildcaught for breeding. I bet he would love to be free again, but that would be incredibly unsafe considering he has been in captivity for at minimum 18 years.

Hi,

This Video is from Isabel Sampaio, and the birds are from Portugal. They are members of “Clube dos Papagaios” (“Parrot Club”) and occasionally they have classes about Parrot Behaviour and they practice Free Flight . I think that one occasion I also put a video of them here ;) (http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?179090-Free-Flight)

I have to admit I'm jealous of them :P we have red-tailed hawks and bald eagles in my neighborhood. This is not a case of "these birds may be found in this area" but a case of "the other day I watched a bald eagle swoop down and get a rabbit, it was cool" and "I thought the one in my tree was a hawk, but then I realized it was a juvenile baldy" and "oh they cut the hay field, see all the hawks swarming for food?"

 

I'm afraid to even take my birds out on a harness in my yard! I figure we will just have to practice inside and then go to a park in the city.

I guess that’s a ‘price to pay’ for living in close contact with nature ;)

Personally, I would not practice free flight with my Amazon. Even if the chance of things going wrong could be of 0,1 %, that minimum chance is enough to desencourage me ;)

I recognised the language as Portugese, thanks for the links I will check them out :)

Amazon parrots are one of the more difficult to train for free flight due to the fact that they like to fly in straight lines and will normally perch in the first tree they find and refuse to move. LOL. I would love to Free Fly Diego one day, but I think that this will only remain a dream rather than a reality.
