Description
Freeflight training looks very different when you’re raising a baby bird for the first time.
In this video, we’re coaching Jen and Brandon through freeflight again—but this time with their 8-month-old Shamrock macaw, Pyro. This is their first experience handling and raising a baby bird, and that changes everything about how we approach training, confidence-building, and decision-making.
We walk through what matters most in the early stages of freeflight with a young macaw, how baby behavior differs from adult birds, and what foundations need to be in place long before distance or complexity ever increase.
This video is about patience, awareness, and learning how to support a young bird’s confidence in the air—while helping first-time bird parents navigate the responsibility that comes with freeflight training.
