Hi everyone!
Recently I began doing flight recall training with my YSGCC so he can have more exercise and maybe a few years in the future do free flight (I'm talking somewhere like 4-5 years down the line)
He's making absolutely fantastic progress and I just felt like I needed to share it with someone, I just get way too excited about this stuff and need to share it with someone! Just in the beginning he was only able to jump from his cage to my hand (about 15 cm) and now he can about 4-5 meters any angle to my hand! I'm super excited about this as most of the hesitating to take off has stopped and he jumps now without much hesitation. As most birds do he gets distracted in about 10-20 minutes but still makes great progress in that time.
Just wanted to ask though, I'm using pineapple to reward him instead of millet because I'm not sure if pineapple is healthier or not. Are there any sort of foods that you can suggest that are healthy and make a great reward? I know millet is good for them but I dont want to feed my bird millet too much because I don't want him to be chubby.
Thanks for reading my thread!
