2 days ago I ordered Sprite a flight suit and hopefully it'll be here soon. Any tips on training? I had an awesome article in bird talk but i cant find it :(

I know some tips for harness training and I'm sure it would also apply to flight suits :).

Work slowly and use lots of treats.


Aaaand that's all I know lol :p. Hopefully someone else can offer some advice. I want to get started on flight suit training too! Just need to get one or finish the one I'm making :).

I just started flight suit training as of yesterday when Kayak's flightsuit arrived! So far I've just shown it to her, left it near her cage, and touched her with it a few times. She's cool with it so far. I don't want her to be afraid of it. She's a very spooky bird sometimes.

Hahah yeah I heard its a good idea to hang it near or on their cage so that they can see it all the time and get used to it.
