i dont think dlindstromjr meant they were buying the bird just so they had a bird to fly to them on command. I thought it was a valid question anyways.

I havent worked with my sun conure on flying yet, but your plan sounds like a good start. If I leave Seiko up on his cage and im sitting on my bed, he will fly down to me. Maybe if you can do that with yours, you can reward him for flying to you with praise and a treat. And then start vocalizing a command for that as he is flying to you and eventually say the command earlier and earlier in his flight until you are saying it right at the beggining. After that, only reinforce your bird if you say the command and he flies to you.

Maybe someone else with experience will jump in too
