I would love to get Chris on the call, I have been unable to reach him, any ideas.

Have you emailed him at the address on his site and contacted him through his free flight list?

Yes on his site and no on the groups. I don't like to ask someone publicly...but I will try that. So many people are interested in free flying, it would be great to interview him and let people ask him questions.

I LOVE those Chris Biro vids.... I could sit on You Tube all day and watch those beautiful birds fly! Makes me nervous and takes my breath away all at once.

Chris has a new video up. It features several macaws and a flock of conures. It's quite breathtaking: YouTube - Flocking Macaws & Sun Conures
