BaileysPapa Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Every day when I work with my Bailey, I ask him, "After I teach you to talk, will you teach me to fly?" He isn't talking yet, so I get no reply. Sometimes, I just sit and watch my beautiful birds, and think what a wonderful gift that flying must be! Just imagine it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Birds Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yes it would be wonderful. I have a friend who swears that when asked if he can talk her African Grey says " I can talk, can you fly?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think we all imagine it, that somewhere deep inside us is a primal instint that believes we can soar to great heights. When I was a child, I had vivid dreams of flight. As I grew older the dreams ebbed away but the memory of those dreams has remained as vivid as those mornings awakening with a conviction that I could fly. My children also would wake up to excitedly tell me they could fly. My daughter at four was convinced if she drank the hummmingbird elixir that she would be able to fly.

tankaray Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes it would be wonderful. I have a friend who swears that when asked if he can talk her African Grey says " I can talk, can you fly?" It's possible, here's an example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Great video, A bird that can put us in our place. BaileysPapa after your grey starts to talk and she try`s to teach you how to fly, She will say all you have to do is move your arms like this. (as she flaps her wings) It`s a peace of cake.

Greywings Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 A friend of mine has taught some of her flock to repeat that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burak Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 " Sometimes, I just sit and watch my beautiful birds, " This part is awesome. I really like to wake-up to his cage noises in the morning. Before him waking up that early wasn't my thing, but now I wake-up like 6 in the morning to watch and interact with him. It's now my daily routine and I really enjoy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezy2013 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I still have dreams I can fly, even now. It is awesome! The fact that parrots can fly is the greatest thing in the world. It would be really great if we could fly as well. Breezy's wings got trimmed to keep him safe during shipping to me but they were not trimmed very short so he can still fly some. Going to let his wings grow out. I have cathedral ceilings and barn beams in my house. Would be great for him to fly around in when he grows his feathers in. Still working on how I will get him down when he flies to the barn beams which are fourteen feet above my head. Maybe a really LONG handled T perch. Lol!
