How do you know they wont fly away? I am so scared to let my conures outside since my sun conure got stuck 35 feet in a tree. She got spooked by a dog, and nearly flew away. I got her back, thank goodness, but I got quite a scare! :o

@deepfriedbanjo It is all about training them properly BEFORE you let them fly out doors. If they have the skills they need, then they can handle situations that come up. How to building those skills is what we talk about when we discuss flight training concepts. There is theory, practice and experience involved to get good at it. Chris

How is Snicket doing?

[chrisbiro1]

@themightymightyone Snicket is doing great. Snicket flies with our flock of 11 sun conures almost every day. They are turned loose in the morning and come back in later in the evening. They are really a lot of fun, Snicket especially. Chris

have you clipt there wings before to tame them because they are flying very good

[chrisbiro1]

@callum424 Clipping is not taming. Good training is taming. No we do not clip these birds wings. Yes our birds are the most tame and friendly flighted birds you will ever meet. Guests who come to Moab to fly with us often comment about how social and friendly our birds are. That comes from good handling skills, not from being clipped in the past. Clipping only stops them from being able to fly, or get away from you. That is not the way to improve your relationship with them. Chris
