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.

I honestly have no idea either if it would be beneficial, but I've watched Chris Biro too. He's amazing. I would think he would be the best teacher as well. Although I know he lives in a very rural area. I'm in the city and don't know if that could be replicated with all of the "city noises".
