Dave and I decided to continue our Flight Training Series because there's so much interest and benefit from this series and the gems you can learn. We hope everyone applies indoor flight training and recall habits for long-term success and avoiding accidents ending badly. 

Let us know if you have more flight-specific questions that you'd like to see a Bird Tricks Tuesday cover! And sorry we were so wiped out in this video... we filmed this in the middle of a tour schedule that had us pretty exhausted, especially since Dave signed us both up for that 5k...

The Perfect Recall | BirdTricks Tuesday

While most people think achieving outdoor freeflight is the "end goal" it's really just the beginning of a whole new world of training! This Bird Tricks Tuesday video is about Better Recall: Getting your bird to come the FIRST time you call, EVERY TIME. Since we come from an entertainment background, this has always been very important to us. We also enjoy a style of freeflying which we call Freestyle Flying... where the birds are meant to go PLAY but always come back to us within a few minutes flight time, and not hours later or whenever they feel like it. We find this type of flying to be what fits our lifestyle and who we are, and we believe it's the safest form (which is another reason it fits our lifestyle) - so although there are different styles of freeflight, this is ours. Remember when you go to a new location, start over again. You won't ALWAYS have to but it's always a good idea to start with A to B's at first in new areas and let the bird choose to explore or not. 📞BOOK A CONSULTATION ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/pages/consultations 🌿ALL NATURAL PARROT TOYS ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/collections/premium-parrot-toys 🌱WHAT TO FEED A PARROT ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/collections/health-and-diet 🐦DIY PARROT TRAINING ▶ https://birdtricksstore.com/collections/main-store JOIN ME ⬇ INSTAGRAM 📷 http://www.instagram.com/birdtricksofficial TWITTER 🐦 http://www.twitter.com/birdtricks FACEBOOK 📖 http://www.facebook.com/birdtricks PATREON 📹 http://www.patreon.com/birdtricks AMAZON 🛍 http://www.amazon.com/shop/birdtricks WEBSITE 💻 http://www.birdtricksstore.com PODCAST 🎤 http://parrottrainingpodcast.com/ STITCHER 🎧 https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/parrot-training-podcast?refid=stpr ITUNES 🎵 https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/parrot-training-podcast/id1458574601 SPOTIFY 🔊 https://open.spotify.com/show/6GRJhNmEEMKBpjLVg0iLeD GOOGLE PLAY ▶ https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ihw6sumhjcrs3j6bbozy5glrcmu TO SEND MAIL 📬 217 CEDAR STREET #401 SANDPOINT, ID 83864 MY BIRDS (Oldest to Youngest) 🐦❤ BONDI 💗 Galah | hatched 2005 CRESSI 💗 Congo African Grey | hatched 2007 BANDIT 💙 Galah | hatched 2008 JINX 💙 Blue Throat Macaw | hatched 2008 COMET 💙 Yellow-Dominant Camelot Macaw | hatched 2008 TUSA 💙 Blue-Green Dominant Camelot Macaw | hatched 2008 ROCKO 💙 Toco Toucan | hatched 2011 LILY & PHOEBE & DETKA 💗 Sun Conures | hatched 2011 😍 ABOUT US 😍 BirdTricks is a husband-wife team; Dave and Jamieleigh Womach specialize in parrot training and companionship. #birdtrickstuesdays #freeflightparrots #freeflight

I knew that Boomer and I were in good hands but this video really helped to solidify that! ❤️ I am so excited about this journey! ❤️

Kim Russell

It’s all in the details!! Boomer and I just had the best session in his Aviary! I took his stand from our inside sessions out there and he immediately knew it was time to focus, even with a dove nearby carrying on! Thank you both for the quality content in all your videos!

Kathy Surber

Great video! I'm excited for the "all about wind" topic. Thanks for the info and the entertainment. 'Cause you two make me smile and laugh (when appropriate). ;0 )

This has been such an illuminating video! However I struggle with recall that is not taking place in a formal training session, when my bird decides that he wants to sit on top of somewhere inaccessible in the house that I can't get to because he chooses to be up there. I am evidently missing something in the equation!

Cindy Lewis-Bryan

But seriously, this video is just mind blowingly informative. Cannot wait for the random rewarding video too!

Martina Kreznovic

This is exactly the kind of info I was after!! Thank you so much!!

I learn so much from your videos. My little Herbie Anne is 4 mos old, clipped by breeder, but she can definitely catch some air and flies short distances. Flight training is definitely on the menu for the future, if not some recall training for short distances (indoors) very soon. I've been working on trick training, which I consider to be more training me to communicate with her effectively. This video reminded me (as many of your videos do) to not get too far ahead of myself, and especially the part about our own body language and talking to our birds as an unintended reward ... totally guilty.

Oh God you guys! I am not into free flight (cockatiel), but this video was so so so helpful for me! My boyfriends laughs at me, because I call Elvis so many times, since he does not react quickly sometimes. Now I know how to tackle this. Thank you thank you thank you! And Jamie made me laugh when she was just being the perch for a while and Dave did all the talking 😂 love you guys!

Hi Jamie! I've opened newer posts when they're on vimeo and I can play those fine but these won't load for some reason. Did you take them down? I would love to watch the entire flight series but they aren't loading when I click play 🤔
