I have let nature take its course and allowed Pumpkins flight feathers to grow in. I've been spending A LOT of time trying build up his muscles and his confidence. This week he is finally starting to fly around a bit. Still short distances and still a little awkward and nervous, but he's made wonderful progress.
The problem is, and this might sound horrible, but he's getting on my nerves. Now that he knows he can fly I can't be anywhere near his gym without him flapping onto my shoulder. When I am sitting at my desk he flies over to me CONSTANTLY. How do I convince him that he doesn't need to be with me every single second? I spent literally hundreds of dollars building him his very own amusement park but but the only thing he's interested in playing with is the pen I'm currently TRYING to write with.
I need some advice for basic training for flighted birds. Any other potential problems I have not run across yet? Or personal stories that might be helpful. I never considered this would be a problem. I feel very unprepared for the very thing ive been working so hard for. Thanks in advance for the advice and/or links!!
