hello all, I spent the weekend starting the first few steps of free flight with my macaw, Maya. Her wings are still clipped and she can still only get a foot or two of lift from a running start but I have been working with her to build up some endurance for her eventual flight. I have ordered her harness and hope to have her pretty well trained in flight by the time her wings are back to their full potential. after that, in a year or two's time, I hope to be able to remove the harness from her and have her fully trained to fly back to me on command.
Any ways, I am super excited to be getting started so here are some pics of Maya and I working on her endurance....
