As far as replicating outside noises and threats indoors I don't know how beneficial that would be. It may be a very good idea but not something I have practiced. For months I have been taking Jerry my Nanday everywhere I can with me to get used to and exposed to as many new things possible I have a small cage for him and he travels with me, in the car he sits on my shoulder, in the house when doing the recall training I don't always make myself available, before he lands I run off and he chases me down. I think he enjoys the challenge and hope that when I do call or am readily available for landing he'll be more likely. As everyone else has suggested the chances of a bird flying off are very high, and I have spent just as much time training my others as I have the Nanday, but he is the only one I would ever consider doing this with. I don't know if I could ever find or train another bird like him in my lifetime.

For most birds, let alone people I would not suggest doing this.
