I want to get cooper flying more. Right now he goes to perch on command perfectly, but I can't get him to recall. He is target trained, but is very lazy with it, and only goes when it doesn't involve flying. Could him going to perches easily (only took about 10 min to reliably train him to do), and not recalling so easily, be part of his personality. He is the kind of bird to kind of do his own thing, not super cuddly, person bird. (still very nice, just prefers to do his own thing). To all you guys with recall trained birds, do you have any tips?
I only train PB indoors and she's in a carrier when she's outside now (hopefully a harness and leash one day). I just think recall is a good skill for her to learn for indoor use AND in case she ever gets free outside on accident. I hope her recall ability will never have to be outdoor tested though.
