There are a few lists out there dedicated to teaching how to train birds for outdoor flight or specifically for recall training but we saw a need for a list that started at a much more basic point when it comes to living with parrots who fly. If you are considering the option of letting your parrots flight feathers grow out, have already done so, or are just looking for more basic information about the subject of living with flighted birds, then this may be the list for you.

We encourage all flighted discussion here but we really want to concentrate on the very basics as well as share the everyday stories of what it's like to live with flighted birds. While we won't discourage sharing of free flight and recall training, there are other lists dedicated to these subjects and we would really like to concentrate on the real basics of the day to day living with these amazing creatures naturally and how it affects and changes our lives. We also want it to be a safe place for people to come and ask questions who haven't decided whether or not full flight is what they would like to choose at this point.

We would like to leave this group as un-moderated as possible so please remember that everyone is entitled to their opinion and that we all try to respectfully agree to disagree every now and then. The only other thing that we ask of members is that everyone try to play nice.

Thanks, and we hope to share experiences with you.
