Parrots Flying In the House -- DUCK!! See What It Looks Like

There are so many opinions and stories about pet birds flying in houses. Some say that birds can't fly in the home at all without running into walls. Some say they can, but it's too dangerous. Others say they can--but to always cover the windows and mirrors because birds can't understand glass... Who knows what to believe?

In order to clear up misunderstandings, this video is posted as a benchmark so people will know what to truly expect with flight in the home. It documents the skills that you should see from *experienced indoor* flyers.

IMPORTANT -- The skill level in this video is SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED. That means, the birds have good flight skills (not necessarily great), and are truly experienced with flying in a house--they know about the objects in a house and know how to (how not to) interact with them.

Will your bird fly like this in a house? Depends on skill level and experience, but don't try it or expect it without training!! Practice and training are the key.

What a wonderful video. You built your entire home around an aviary. But I guess that will be much easier than living in an aviary with your birdies

@Shanlung9 hahahaa! yes, much easier for us (and you too, is is not?)

although it's not much different than having a few kitty condos (rug poles with platforms) for cats in your house. people do that a lot to protect the furniture from claws ;)

this also makes it easier because, as you also have stated, the birds then stay on their gyms and usually don't go to other places where we don't want them to go. everyone is happier.

Please send your video as response to my video "Wing clipping: Why birds disagree with scissors"! Your video is wonderful! I like it so much! Thank you for understanding! YOU have a new friend! Green feathered greeting from Germany, Monika and her four full-flighted Linnie boys

This is one of my favorite videos EVER. If anyone asks me that very controversial question "To clip or not to clip?," I will tell them to watch this. Brilliant! Thank you for posting

I LOVE this video! Our CAG is flighted, and we quite enjoy it. The play areas you have set up are amazing. I would love to hear how those started and evolved.

I have 8 flighted birds in the house. None of my birds is dumb enough to bang into walls, mirrors and windows.

After having a spectacled amazon kill itself by flying into a window I'll never allow this with my eclectus. I read every week of someone who has lost a bird desparate to find their beloved pets. To each their own...I think this is asking for heartache.
