I am thrilled to share an insightful article featuring one of my members of the GFF Parrot Flying Course! 🪶 This individual's dedication, passion, and unique journey in the art of parrot flying have caught the attention of THE POST. Dive into the fascinating story of Lushen Chetty , as he inspires us with his love for these magnificent creatures and his commitment to understanding the skies and free flight. Check out the full article below!

FREEDOM TO SPREAD THEIR WINGS & RETURN SAFELY TO OWNER.

AFTER a serious motorbike accident four years ago, Lushen Chetty , a parrot enthusiast, found solace with his feathered-friend. However, not wanting to keep him confined to a cage or clip his wings, he decided to learn about free flying. Free flying refers to pet parrots being trained to fly outdoors without physical restraints, and return to their handler upon command.

Chetty, 33, of Durban North, has now extended his passion, for allowing his parrots to be free flyers, to helping other owners to train their beloved pets. He said through social media, he educated people about free flying parrots, as well as offered specialised private parrot training; providing tailored guidance on training techniques. “The aim is to advocate for free flying in Durban; redefining parrot ownership by allowing birds the freedom to fly safely outdoors.”

Chetty, who owns seven parrots, including five Sun Conures, an Illiger Macaw, and an Indian Ringneck, said he had loved birds from a young age. “I grew up in a family that loved birds, especially parrots. My grandfather had a 38-year-old African Grey, which my mother inherited when he passed away.
“In school, I got my first bird, an Indian Ringneck. I didn’t know much about birds at the time but I didn’t want to clip her wings. She would fly freely around the house, sleep on my bed and wake me up for school. However, due to age, she passed away."

Chetty said he decided to get another Indian Ringneck after a motorbike accident in 2020. “I spent about seven months in hospital and had to learn to walk again. It was a difficult time. I always loved birds and they brought me joy, so I decided to get another one. I also decided that I wanted to give it freedom and be able to enjoy the outdoors with me. So began my journey in learning about free flying.

“My desire to learn more intensified after watching online videos of parrots flying freely. Determined to replicate this experience with my own birds, I enrolled in the Gone Free Flying course, a rigorous programme designed to teach the principles of Operant Conditioning and positive reinforcement in parrot training.

“Through this course, I gained a comprehensive understanding of avian behaviour and effective training techniques, supported by ongoing mentorship and practical experience."

“Over the years, I accumulated further experience and once a hobby, it turned into a profession where I started training other birds and giving personalised in-person consultations."

Chetty said he was, however, unable to train his Indian Ringneck as it was considered an invasive species. “There are a lot of wild Indian Ringnecks in Durban, which are considered an invasive species. You need a permit to take it outside but I didn't want to take any risks of being given a fine or my bird being taken away. However, he is free-flight trained."

“My mentor, who lives abroad, suggested I get a Sun Conure, an absolutely beautiful bird. I began training him and within a short time, he had his first successful free flight outdoors."

“I decided to get more parrots to create a flock dynamic. Thereafter, every time I got another parrot, I trained it. Further to this, free flight serves as a comprehensive form of enrichment for parrots, addressing their physical, mental and emotional needs."
He added that whether it be taking his parrots outdoors or training others, it was his escape.

“It is an amazing feeling to watch them enjoy the freedom; spreading their wings and flying into the sky, sitting in the trees, and enjoying the outdoors. I can also take them out with me and not be afraid that they will get lost, or not know what to do in a situation. One of my parrots encountered a hawk, which is a predatory bird. It was able to use its flight skills and instincts to evade the hawk and return safely to me".

“It also brings me joy when (other) owners get to experience the same feeling of excitement I do when their pets take to the sky and return safely to them. As they say, 'it’s not work if you love what you do'. It’s truly a passion."

Chetty, who is also the founder of Parrot Nutrition, said he also offered nutritional support to owners. “This venture is dedicated to providing fresh produce tailored to meet the dietary needs of parrots. It is focused on promoting a holistic approach to parrot feeding, emphasising variety and species-specific nutrition.”

He said his dream and goal were to open a sanctuary for rescue birds. “This is my end goal to give all birds, especially those that are unwanted, a good life,” he said.

I recently received a heartening email from a Jameela Daniels, one of our cherished members, and I couldn't wait to share her exhilarating experience with you. Jameela embarked on her first free flight with her two macaws, and her joyous email speaks volumes about the magic that unfolds when humans and parrots take flight together.

The email she shared captures the essence of this unique experience – the freedom, the connection, and the sheer joy that comes from witnessing her magnificent parrots soar through the open skies.

At Gone Free Flying, we believe in fostering meaningful connections between humans and parrots through the liberating experience of free flight. Jameela's tears of joy are a testament to the emotional bond that develops during these extraordinary sessions.

Our flight course provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for pet parrots to spread their wings and for their humans to share in the delight of their newfound freedom. Visit our website or reach out to us for more information on how you can embark on your own extraordinary journey with your parrot.

Here's to spreading wings and making memories that will last a lifetime.

🦜 The Importance of Recall Training: A Lesson from Rodrigo Buccazio🦜

Hey there, fellow bird lovers! 🐦

A recent post in our private members group, shared by GFF member Rodrigo Buccazio. It's a testament to the significance of recall training for our feathered friends. 🌟

Recall is a wonderful way to ensure our parrots are not only flying birds but also safe and secure members of our families, it’s a crucial safety measure. Preventing potential escapes or unwanted situations is always better than dealing with the aftermath. BUT, accidents happen, and our birds can unexpectedly find themselves in tricky situations. Having a well-trained recall command can be a lifesaver in such instances.

So, let's take Rodrigo's story as an inspiration to invest some time and effort into recall training.

GONE FREE FLYING

Welcome!

On this page you can follow my own adventures and experiences free flying and training my macaw.

This page is a source to actively educate people on social media, by sharing examples of my own birds and training. I strictly follow the science of Operant Conditioning and I try to learn as much as possible through international, more experienced contacts.

I hope this page helps you become a great animal/parrot trainer, so that you can give your bird the opportunity to fly and also minimise the risks.
