I've been fascinated with the idea from free flight since I found out it was a thing. The research I've done however has pretty much ruled the practice out for my situation because of the time commitment, risks, cost, and that our fids are already adults. What do you guys do to properly exercise your fids? Do you indoor fly them, do certain exercises, or do you think regular out of the cage time will suffice on keeping them fit?
My B&G refuses to fly. His previous owner would set him out on a perch alone outside for hours and he would stay. There have been times when he was particularly restless that he would do some crazy acrobatics to get off his perch without flying. Any idea why this would be and ways to encourage him to take flight? Should I even encourage it or just leave it alone because it's safer to have him grounded?
