Any tips??
As my lorikeet Ashling has learnt to fly, I let her out today to play with the other birdies, who are flighted (except the budgie- who I'm taming to be rehomed). Usually Ash sticks to me like glue but of course in her excitement she follows the gang around and completely ignores me!
Not even fresh spinach can persuade her to come to me! The cockatiels fly away from her, but the budgie absolutely adores her. Ash goes up to the budgie , grabs her by the neck and starts preening and kissing her. It shocked me the first time cause I thought she was hurting the Silk, but she LOVES the attention- since her mate died :( Right now the two are sitting on my shoulder smooching while the tiels watch in interest. I was wondering if anyone had some tips to make her more willing to fly to me when called? She comes when the other birdies aren't around- I'm wondering if it's just the fact that they are more exciting and new than me, who she sees every day!? Thanks!

Matches comes back "when she feels like it" LOL. If its a strange place she will stick to me like glue until she has sussed out everything then off she flies to chew what she finds lol. I have taught her to fly to me on copmmand but she is a bit stubborn at times. If she flies off and cant see me she freaks out and flys around til she finds me. But she's not interested in other birds, just people so i dunno lol.
