Rocky was Adopted by Shawna and her wonderful family. Rocky, the Blue and Gold Macaw, chose them and made it very clear that he wanted to go with them. And it all came together last month. The following is an email and photo that demonstrates what patience and bird knowledge can produce. In one month Shawna harness trained adult macaw Rocky. In the photo you can clearly see his “Feather Tether”.
From Shawna:
Finally got the leash training. Yay! He now knows when we get the leash we’re going outside or for a ride. Wanted to share. He’s doing great. We have all definitely fallen in love.

Barbara Heidenreich of Goodbirdinc.com has a video on her website with step by step training your bird to accept a harness. It is putting a leash on your flight capable bird.
