I have another post going rn about wing clipping...but it has quickly turned into I'm not clipping him. I think at this point clipping is pointless. (& I absolutely hate doing it anyway! Birds are birds they should fly!) My little Yoshi is clipped already anyway & can fly like he's not clipped at all.
That said, I feel like this is a better place to direct this conversation. Since it seems he can fly no matter what.
I'm leaning hard towards giving up clipping him again. I'd much rather teach him come & stay.
He already flies after me when I leave the room, he either lands in my hand, if I hold it out fast enough
or lands on my shoulder or head. 
so I at least have that to work with. 


I imagine saying come while hes mid air & maybe adding a treat when he lands? That would probably be a solid starting point for "come here" training? You think? Got anything else for me?
But how on earth do train a bird to stay!?
"stay" is the most important one for sure. He does give fair warning before he flies. He does a very serious yes yes yes yes yes *body goes up & down super fast* 

before he takes off. So I'm thinking if I could just interrupt that yes yes yes yes moment...
...now that I think about it...go home would be nice addition as well.


I don't have any idea where to start with any of this! Any advice welcome & appreciated!
