Carly Flies the Big Sky Country

Northeastern Wyoming, June 2007

Carly, a 2 1/2 year old African Grey, never learned to fly as a baby.
 Before fledging, 10 of her flight feathers on each side were clipped. 

For the last 10 months she has been in learning to fly and training for outdoor recall.

This month we took a vacation together in Wyoming, where we met other friends from around
the country who also do outdoor flight training with their parrots.

I'm still missing two flight feathers on one side from my baby clip two years ago!

The first day was realllllly windy, so we practiced with our harness.
We're not quite ready to fly with the Big Birds in this kind of weather!

What a good girl!


Caution: Outoor flying requires careful training!

Contact me if you want to know where to get information on how to train for recall -- outside OR inside.
Even clipped birds can & do escape -- make sure you can call yours back to you.
