Swing!

and other new stands.

Jellybean spent a lot of time on the swing. I like it because he really has to learn and balance.

He had a pretty awkward exit from it though and I thought he would end up on the floor, but he was able to recover nicely and not crash. All that flight training is paying of!

Good work Jelly bean! Keep that flight training on track.

I can really tell the difference; he can recover and make adjustments much easier. When we first got him he would just crash to the ground.

Now he can make adjustments and change his flight pattern.

Another note on flighted birds; I have been watching Andrew and Tui on Youtube; what a story. However, you have to imagine my house as a circle; the dogs will leave the house through the dog door to the left, run around the house and then I have a french door on the right. One of my dogs figured out how to kind of elbow the door open, although it was closed, and come back in. Now the door is standing wide open.

For the last couple of days I have locked that door so the dog had to come back in through the doggie door.

Good habit, because today Jellybean tried to fly out windows and really eyed that door today. I am convinced he would have taken the chance if the door would have been open.

I have learned how quick they can be; I open a cabinet door to put up some dishes and before I know it he is sitting on it!

I know I am new, but please never give your bird a chance to escape.

But, I really think my bird should be flighted and it is up to me to make sure he is safe.
