OMG they are beautiful!


Echo is finally fully flighted with the exception of one feather on each wing yet

He is getting better at landing where he wants to. It's a learning process for them. I have just started clicker training him and also use an avatar harness outside. By doing so my plan is to not only have him used to being outside (therefore not freaking out and flying off if he accidentally gets outside.) I am teaching him to fly to me on command. Therefore if he does get out he not only knows where he is he will come to me with hand signals and the clicker..

He is also paper trained and knows where he is allowed to poop and not. So he doesn't poop all over my house either..

All of which take time and daily working with him..
