Carmen doesn’t mind the floor at all she will waddle around looking at stuff. I just love her little waddle too; she looks so cute running around like that. Also Carmen has long flight feathers clipped but only about halfway and she cant fly nearly as good as jazzy. If she jumps into the air she gets only a couple inches but that’s it. I have decided to let her flight feather grown in and teach her to fly to me and from cage to couch type thing and then clip her. she doesn’t have a problem jumping from place to place and will flutter to the floor and walk to were she want to be. she also loves swinging on her spiral rope toy (boing) she even hold on and flaps her wings to make it move around. I thought George was a vigorous player until Carmen came home she puts him to shame with her antics. My favorite thing about her so far is her apatite and the way she gets excited when I bring her food. I also love the fact that she can be in the middle of a nap or attacking a toy, if I have food she stops doing what ever it she was doing and comes running to help me eat it. she instantly becomes Velcro bird until she has had her fill. So I have had to start eating more healthy if I am going to eat in her presence because she will not take no for an answer when it comes to food.

xo Missi wrote:Hmm, the Aviator harness has NO clips. I have not yet watched the dvd but am actually planning on watching it tonight!The harness will "swivel" around the body, just make sure you don't put it on too tight.
This is the best harness in my opinion and Jasmine accepts it now with almost no argument![]()
Need any more advice, PLEASE let me know

Hmmm well ours has a plastic part where it can tighten or loosen around the body. On the dvd the guys is metal and swivels easily whereas this one doesn't seem to swivel much. Seems like the loop in the elastic leash part isn't very durable either. I guess time will tell!
The dvd is great. His interaction with his birds is amazing, especially the way they'll fly to him from across a field on command.

So she really does fly, I mean really flies, you'd better keep her on a
leash when you are out or you will be climbing a tree saying come here Jazzy.
Now since you were so successful with her I'd like you to tell me where you got your flight leash, what it is called and then I want you to come up here and put it on Nila.I think I could probably manage the grey but no way with Nila.
And keep an eye on those bananas. Even if they spray the bushes there the bananas should be good to eat. And trust me they are delicious. Just peel first if they spray before you let Jazzy at them. They are ok to cut the whole stalk and let ripen in a shaded dry place, like a lanai or the kitchen hung over the sink.
And anytime you want a babysitter you may want to think of bringing her up to me. I could put her in the front room with the other two and I'd make sure they didn't get after each other.And then I'd change my phone number and my locks and pretend I never heard of Missi and I'd love that little Jazzy
No I'd give her back, really I would.
