Within the next few months I plan on purchasing my dream bird - a sun conure.

I would love to be able to train the bird to fly to me on command (yes I know fully flighted birds are controversial). Has anyone been able to train the bird to fly to them on command and fly back to their cage on command? To me it just seems like an addition to the 'step-up' command. If one could simply get the bird to first jump to the finger -provide a treat- and then over time move the finger slowly back until the bird has to fly to the hand to get the treat...etc, all the while saying the same command as the bird flies "come, here, etc." The tough part may be training the bird to fly back to the cage on command.

Have any of your birds mastered such?
