How inspiring! I love everything I’m learning from all of you. I have a couple thoughts that I hope can help- 1-masculine and feminine energy sometimes can feel and affect our pets behavior dramatically. Becoming aware of images in our minds eye can make or break a situation. Awareness of what can happen is important but we need to be careful with our energy that we aren’t prejudging a circumstance. I believe that this is why the birds act differently with you vs David.- both being good, like you said to balance the birds training 💜🙏 2- Ava’s flight might be influenced by one side being stronger then the other creating the drifting effect. Perhaps creating an obstacle on the right to retrain a habit and balance muscle structure balance. Also an X-ray of her skeleton confirmation might be helpful 💜

2023-03-13 16:33:35 +0000 UTCI have a folder now called "Make the birds talk" and I upload my videos into there and give it to my editor who makes them talk and it ads such a fun element to the videos I think! I love it so much. Her additions always make me laugh out loud.

2023-03-11 00:18:04 +0000 UTCI was thinking about Ava's flight pattern. Could it be a vision thing? Maybe her vision isn't as clear unless she approaches from an angle?

2023-03-11 00:16:54 +0000 UTCMy bird is a non flyer, I wonder if I can modify this idea for him, any ideas?

2023-03-10 15:10:49 +0000 UTCI’m glad you noticed her vocals, it’s our favorite thing about her and her vocals are indicators about how she’s feeling about flying!

2023-03-10 15:09:56 +0000 UTCI actually noticed they way Ava was flying and thought you were starting to train her to do boomerangs. But clearly, I was wrong and when you mentioned that she was flying in an arc towards you, it connected with me. Yay for success! Great work!

2023-03-10 06:45:11 +0000 UTCGetting the birds into the training zone goes a long way. I was having trouble getting Oscar into a portable cage I bought to take him outside for sun. Then I remembered how you teach about the birdie bubble and how they will accept some things that are usually unwelcome once they get in the training mode. So I did some recalls and put him back various places. Then I recalled him and set him right into the little cage where a jackpot reward was waiting for him. He didn't even notice me shutting the door. This trick has worked over and over again. Now I only have to recall him once or twice to get him into the cage. I've probably created a routine but it's not a bad one. It's funny that once they really get into training they get so hyper focused on it that they'll do things they would never do otherwise. I think they must have a natural "time to work" zone that motivates them in the wild to forage, build nests, care for their young, etc. Tell Jinx that he and Ava make a striking couple, even if he's still insisting on being a confirmed bachelor. 😍
