72 Why We Value Fly Offs in Free Flight Training

About this episode

Hillary Hankey and Katie Pnewski discuss the importance of handling fly offs in free flight training for birds.

"If you are looking for guarantees with free flight training in birds, you are in the wrong place." In this episode, Avian Behavior International founder Hillary Hankey and ABI Animal Training Lead Katie Pnewski talk about how developing skills for birds and training staff around fly offs has been instrumental in their practice as team leaders. A practice of safety and growth doesn't come from expecting mistakes not to happen, it comes from preparing for them to happen and getting the most out of the experience when you are working through a solution. In free flight, you learn that true growth comes from being in uncomfortable situations. Our Handling a Fly Off course is dropping in the Avian Behavior Lab .
