As I've posted before, I've been taking my birds to my friend Naomi's place to fly outside. I have developed an eagle eye for raptors and have only ever seen...
Wow Emily, what a story! All of this make me wonder: do specific individual birds need to know each other and LEARN to cooperate in order for their flock...

Hello, thank you every body, Emily, Bart, Shan Lung... for sharing your experience. And i think it will take us a long time till the greys will fly outdoor. As...
I think there are people on the list who have experience with flying raptors, although up to now it is not really discussed. (we don't like the fox in the...
It is a good thing that you don't rush outdoor flight. I gave up pretty quick with the harness; I found it too stressful for me and Wacko. But a lot of people...

Nice story, Why do you call the landing untidy? (except for the blood of course) Did you wear a T-shirt when Tinkerbell was landing on you? It happened already...
Hi Bart, Thank you so much for your response! We only fly the birds seperately ;-) So Rosalita should be fine. I would probably fly her first, put her away in...

Do you ever post any pics of Teq flying? OR any at all. I would love to see what he looks like. Dot Dorothy Schwarz Greenacres, Abberton Colchester CO5 7NY ...
My (basic) understanding of clicker training is that you have to reward an action. I think that clicking when just feeding her is not a good idea. How old is...
At the very beginning of clicker training, aren't you supposed to "condition the clicker" which is giving a favorite food and clicking at the same time - so...
... Hi Sherry, what you describe is exactly what conventional wisdom recommends. However, simply "conditioning the clicker" seemed too dumb for my birds so I...
Thanks for the report, Emily. It is fabulous to read the progress of the flyers. As I said before, i think you guys are really on to something here. I wonder...
Hi Bart, Zaza is 5 months old. She is fully flighted but I have yet to fly her. Our resident falconer has trained his Great Horned Owl to fly to his glove by...
... Hi Sherry, I haven't conditioned the clicker with either my dogs or birds. But, if you do, it should only take a couple of clicks for the animal to get...
Just a quick note to let all know we made it safely home to Canada. (IT IS FREEZING! I AM GOING TO DIE!) We brought a total of 10 animals--four talking...

Grate news, thanks for the update. Question is just how long you are going to stay in Canada? I am OK, (not in Haifa anyway) in case you've worried. Best...
Constantin; Your pic's are great, Cory is a beautiful guy. My favorite, #1 on the list, is Cory at the computor. That's a shot that is priceless. He looks...
Dean, I understand the name change (Jazzy) thank you. The photo's are awesome. Nick is such is a beautiful guy, and Sadie is pure fluff and delight. The kids...
It must be impressive, I once had a close encounter with an owl. It was very big, and it passed me in the dark, only of couple of meters away. My hair in my...
