RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
She flew across the room three times this morning each time crashing into the wall and falling. So what am I supposed to do now, just let her keep crashing into walls until she figures it out?
It's a bird so I knew it was going to eventually fly, but I wasn't expecting her to fly off my arm this morning and all the way across the room. It was amazing, but scary when she hit the wall and fell on the table.
Please do use caution with her flying, as collisions with walls, etc can be harmful or worse. One of my timneh greys broke a leg from impact; it was surgically pinned with a complete recovery. An interesting technique some use is to take her on a "tour" of your home while on your hand, allowing her to touch the walls, doors, objects, etc. Many birds cannot detect glass windows and view them as transparent. Suitable coverings or decals can help.
