Hello everyone, hope you and the fids are all doing well!

I have a story to share with you all! I'm so proud of Jerry, my 7 year old Nanday. We have been together only a year but are getting along great and he continues to improve on his training. Today was his first outdoor experience. I took him outside in a smaller cage and let him get some fresh air for about an hour, after he seemed fine with his surroundings I took him out to my shoulder and we spent 2 hours just lounging in the sun and walking around my property. For the past six months I have been training him to always fly back to my shoulder. I put him in scenarios in the house where I run around and he chases me down. We spend a couple hours a day together playing, play fighting, working on recall training etc. Anyhow...

He loved the outdoors, he didn't try to fly off at all, but I was confident enough that if he were to do so he would return.

After getting him about a year ago I was inspired by watching videos from Chris Biro and his free flight birds. We are going for a another trip outside tomorrow if the weather stays warm. Just thought I'd share with all, I'm so proud of him!

Oh, and we had loads of blue jays come around after seeing him and with a few big screams he scared them all off!
