kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 LOVED the video! I LOVE your baby.... so much potential! Awesome training. Can I send Sophie over for flight training? She needs it ... she may be a social butterfly, but she wouldn't do what kilaya did Nancy
dhorje Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 LOVED the video! I LOVE your baby.... so much potential! Awesome training. Can I send Sophie over for flight training? She needs it ... she may be a social butterfly, but she wouldn't do what kilaya did Nancy Sure. Meet you at the airport. Dinner.
dhorje Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Silent recall. I showed my arm without whistling or calling. And Kilaya flew to me.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I would meet you at the airport! LOL! How interesting, that we all work to make our birds successful in life. We all have different plans, but one goal! If you lived next door, we could trade.... You have your strength and so do I. Sophie would drive you crazy within 24 hours! LOL Than again, me training Sophie would drive me crazy as well!I wish we all lived closely, and could meet in one room. Can you imagine? Nancy
dhorje Posted December 4, 2014 Author Posted December 4, 2014 It's my wish too. How nice if we had someone who could take care of our birds when we were on vacation. I could walk over to feed your birdies and vice versa.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Vacations are the toughest! As I don't close their cage and they have their own room, it was very tough for me in the beginning. I went to my groomer as I trust him, but Sophie couldn't be loose which I understood. She would have gone crazy.... so I told him to let her out on the playstand ( huge), all day. She interacted with customers all day long. When I came back, there were several " offers" for her, which my groomer told me he had to say. It kinda freaked me out... last time she went to the groomers! I have a few teenagers that I have known since they were little, that I now hire to care for her. She has known them all her life. They just move in. Now when I get back from vacation ( even though I will talk to her daily), she just says " where have you been?" No punishment, no transition.Nancy
dhorje Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 How nice you have someone to take care of yours. Kilaya at waterfall today.
Timbersmom Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Beautiful scenery and video, as always! Thanks for sharing...
birdhouse Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Looks like the recall training is going greyt!!
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Beautiful! LOVES her daddy ( just look at her eyes!) Sophie would be climbing all over me in that situation! I say every spring, " I'm gonna train her"... but I don't! Be there for me in the spring-summer, and I will do it! I was the naive parent that had a bird that was trimmed her first year. She LIVED outside with me. I learned from this site that I " dodged a bullet!" Nancy
robopetz Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Beautiful.... both Kilaya and the falls lol Where you from?
dhorje Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Beautiful.... both Kilaya and the falls lol Where you from? Malaysia.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Good to see other family members involved. Nancy
dhorje Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Is that a dog whistle? You can use any type of whistle.
dhorje Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 After weeks of training, Kilaya has gained enough confidence to fly at a longer distance. He has broken last year record of 30ft. This morning he did 45ft.
Timbersmom Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Great video! I always enjoy watching these and appreciate your posting I don't think my TAG ever fledged. He is fully feathered but only attempts flight when startled and I can't interest him in it. So, I really enjoy watching them fly as they were born to
birdhouse Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 He's doing so good!! And on a side note, it looks so-o-o warm & green. Can we have some more, please? lol
