- As so many of you have asked, here you go - A silly video showing our boys flying! This was actually so much fun to make! And the results really make me smile. I love being able to watch the boys have freedom!
Please do NOT try this with an untrained bird. You will lose them. If you want to train your bird either find a mentor in your area or take this course:

5:00 look at all thoooose chickens! 🐔
If i had a netted yard, i'd make a nice bed in the grass, run an extension cord & me & the animals would be outside all the time. I'm gonna check my lease to see if i can at least screen in my balcony as i'm in an apt.
We’re still in the process of doing the garden up to make it look pretty. But it’s good enough to get the birds out 😁
Oh you should!!
Great video, they fly beautiful 💕
So lovely seeing your birds free flight. This is such a great video, inspiring and fun to watch. Love seeing the cat next door through the safety of the netted garden with the birds totally chilled and safe. 👍
Awww thank you! That means a lot 🥰 that’s actually our cat moaning to get in. Despite knowing he’s not allowed near the birds 😂 he’s a little chancer
Birds like "these rocks look delicious"
First xx new subscriber love you guys so much!!!
This is so satisfying watching them fly
Y'all need to make a free flight tutorial/ learning in steps video!!!
Nooooo. That would be stupid. There is no one way to fly a parrot and each species requires different things. This is why mentors are important. Me making a tutorial would increase the amount of birds lost as there is so much you need to learn
Beautiful video!
Awesome keep it up your doing great ! 🙂💙
Awesome video!
Thank you!
Risky but cool
Would you consider doing a brief look into the nail trimming? Interested in seeing this! Thank you and always! Great Video
I’ll see what I can do! I’ve added it to my video ideas 😂 with the smaller guys I honestly towel them and just quickly clip the tips off. My partner Nash uses a dremel on Corliss ☺️
So you teach them the "come" trick inside, practice in the netted garden and then graduate to outside. How do the birds go back into the carriers after being outside? I doubt they're tired, do they have a special treat they get in the crate/bag? I see they're used to flying low :) So amazing.
Not really, I teach them a lot more. Majority of free flight training was actually for me rather than the birds. I get them back inside their carriers by training them to go in
Not really, they only flew low in that video. That actually usually fly really high and quite far
@@SoaringWingsFlock My cockatiel is hand tame and she's very sweet. I'm thinking through how it's even possible to train free. Though she is clipped, I pretend she's not and never chase her so she completely trusts me as a safe place and runs to me if something is scary -or just because. She knows several tricks like wave, "no", spin, target/clicker, come here and high five and shoulder along with some verbal words that she's associated with us doing something. So, she's used to training. She'll go hesitantly into her carrier for millet and I do some in and out of crate training sessions with her, but she's just doesn't enjoy the movement of the crate when we go somewhere and I can't imagine she'd trade being outside to being in the crate when we have to go home. How do you do it? I've taken her outside on harness several times but she never wanted to leave my shoulder and putting the harness on/off isn't super fun for either of us. I should and will do more handling practice to get her used to the harness, but free flight sounds so much less stressful not to mention super healthy. Once a weed wacker somewhere scared her and she fluttered to the ground then after a second, she ran to my foot (which it how she asks to be picked up). She could have been spooked and continued flying if she was flighted without harness though so I wouldn't just go free flying without extensive recall practice. She's over a year old now, and enjoys outside time, I've just been too terrified to let her come out without something confining her, even though she's clipped. How (and I understand this is simply your opinion) what else then would you do to prepare your bird to come outside with you? I am a professional dog trainer, but birds are just very different and I'm still learning. I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thanks so much for your response!
Did you teach your tiel to hold food with his foot?
I thought this was the Pineapple at first. It looks so similar. XD Both have a lot of these short-ish trees. In fact, I think there might even be more open space there than here. Only thing is more people, I suppose.
We actually don't fly them there anymore as it's slightly up hill and it's difficult to find days to fly them due to the lovely Scottish weather. The park has been much better for us and Denali is definitely more confident in it too XD
@@SoaringWingsFlock Ohhh, I gotcha. I'm about to watch the new vlog, so I guess I'll see where you fly. XD
Parrot Volancy oh no, that’s a COMPLETELY new location found accidentally for the meet-up 😂
@@SoaringWingsFlock Ohhh, haha. Well, it was still cool. I damn near shat myself when Denali flew after Orion. That was awesome. XD
I heard cockatiels aren’t very soothed for freeflight, no problem seeing here
Cockatiels are classed as one of the more difficult species to free fly due to their nature; they spook very easily. As they are a prey species that forages on the ground their instinct is to spook at everything. It’s how they stay safe in the wild. This makes them very difficult to train in comparison to macaws or conures ☺️
2 years ago my bird flew away but luckily I got it back, it was in a neighbors tree then flew down in someone's back yard so I had to jump over the fence to get it. I kinda wanna train my bird to be outside too without wings clipped, I'm kinda scared because I don't want it to fly away because I won't get it back, any tips? Should I try to train it to free fly and stuff? And how? Should I just teach them basic stuff instead? Like fly to me and other easy tricks?
I have a leash for one but they are scared of it so I don't use it
Free flight is fairly difficult, but some people have taught their birds to free fly in the emergency they got out the house. I wouldn’t clip a birds wings regardless as clipped birds have a weak flight pattern which is often recognised by predators. Clipped birds have little chance of survival due to that. I would honestly just focus on your bond and harness train your bird. Tricks are an awesome way to bond too! ☺️
I have 2 cockatiels both males 3 months old both heavy pied,do you have any advise on how to gain they’re trust they can already can step up on my hand
Keep offering them millet. Millet is a favourite of ours! They’ll slowly get used to your hands from there ☺️
Did you take any free flight courses or did you learn by talking to other free flight owners?
Both actually 😅 liberty wings (although I still haven’t finished) is the course
Why won't my second bird eat from my hand? I have had him for 2 years. I bought it from the same lady from my first cockatiel and my first one eats from my hand and everything but the second bird won't.
Maybe it doesn’t like the treat you’re using? Or it’s scared? ☺️
Can you make a video of tips to convert your birds to pellets?
I could try one day! We feed both seeds and pellets and the conversion time depends on the bird. So one of our birds took a year to even try a pellet where as one took a mere few weeks. Introduce the pellets in the seed mix, they eventually catch on ☺️
I love My Baby too much to take such a chance of a predator getting Him. I wish You lived Your's more.
I wish I could do this with my 2. They won't even get on my fingers ☹
Tame them... don't u know how to tame?
@@SakibKhan-qq8dz if they know wouldn't the bird get in their finger
@@ahmadmmhmd113 🤔i didn't understand u
How old are they?
White one is 1 and a half now, yellow one is 2 and a half and grey one is 4 and a few months
Can I train my birds to not destroy the garden? I want to net the garden for my birds but my parents won't agree because they tend to destroy everything 😂😂
Our guys actually don’t care for the net at all! 😂 if you keep outdoor time fun then the bird shouldn’t even want to chew the net ☺️
it's what birds do. they explore with their beaks. curious about something? chew on it, maybe it's food. lol it's almost as far off their nature as saying "can i train my birds to grow hair" xD
but on the flip side, it's not like they go out intending to just cause wanton destruction, either. they'll nibble a couple of flowers, and poke around in the grass, and sit in the trees, and so on.... but they're not going to just chew everything down to bare dirt, either. it's just not how birds work.
Flying outdoors is too dangerous!!!
Not if both you and the birds know what you / they are doing AND it requires training.
