Hello,
I live in a rural area in the Sierra Nevada foothills in NorCal. There aren't many parronts up here, let alone parronts interested in flying their birds on a harness. I think what the Kizzy bird really needs to complete her harness training is to see why I'm asking her to do something so unnatural. If she could observe other birds flying in their harnesses, it would probably help.
I think I will try playing videos for her. She seems to understand she's a bird, despite being pulled at a very young age. Maybe watching a lot of harness videos will make her understand what I want from her and what she will get to do once she will allow me to put her in the harness. A first-hand exhibition would be better, provided the parronts haven't acquired new birds in the recent past.
