SRSeedBurners Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 That's exactly what I want to do with Greycie. We have a park in the area that has nothing for acres and acres that would be safe to fly her. Are you using the Aviator Flight Line lead to get that much length?
SullysMom Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Wow that's amazing! I would love to do that as well with Sully but I'm just so afraid of him getting spooked or lost! Loved the video though!
neoow Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Amazing video! I wish I'd tried to get Alfie used to a harness when he was younger. I'd love to take him out on walks etc and allow him to fly in safe spaces. I don't think I'd have much luck if I tried now, no matter how patient I was and how long it took. He's going to be 12 this year and doesn't really like his back or wings being touched.
BaileysPapa Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Fantastic! My Bailey does not like to be harnessed. He has chewed through an Aviator Harness in about 6 hours time, spread out over more than a week. Not to mention several of my T-shirts, and biting my ears and hands. So, now I won't stress him out with it anymore. And yes, I know that in the Aviator video, they say that your bird cannot chew through the harness. But, mine did. It was an awful experience for both of us.
SRSeedBurners Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Greycie chews through hers on a regular basis. I have another one on order and am contemplating creating some leather sheaths to sew over the problem areas.

Are you using the Aviator Flight Line lead to get that much length? Dont waste your money on that flightline. It is useless and the flying distance is limited. I am using braided fishing line attached to a kite reel like what Shanlung was using.
Chappie Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Oh bloody hell WOW... that's amazing and looks like a lot of fun. I didn't realise how long the leash was. I saw your other video of him wearing a hoodie...absolutely gorgeous
birdhouse Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I dream that one day, I'll have a bird who will do that. The difference is, in my case, it won't ever be anything more than a dream. sigh
