Lessons from this video:

• Always end the session on a positive note and while the enthusiasm is still high! 
• Crashing is part of the learning process - just like a toddler looks to its parents for how to respond - stay calm and collected and re-build the confidence through skills your bird already has before progressing forward. 
• Flying around corners, through door ways and coming to you when you call from out of sight are MUST-HAVE skills for any parrot you want to fly outdoors. A bird has to learn how to properly navigate and adjust in flight. 
• Keep flying fun and associated positively so your bird WANTS to do it. Don't fly your bird until it's too tired to fly anymore - end about 4-5 flights before that point. 
• Make sure to vary up the flights. Don't always fly your bird in only one direction - make sure the bird is truly mastering the space by flying in all directions confidently.
