Should I use the Flight Line or the Leash Extension?

The Aviator Flight Line is stationary. A lead up to 30 feet long is attached to two end post that are placed into the ground. The post can be placed closer or further apart depending upon how big your area is. Leash extensions included in the packager are attached to the 30 foot long line. The other end is attached to the Aviator Harness leash. Larger birds that are in good condition will be able to fly in an area as large as 50 x 80 feet.

Now your bird can fly around the yard on his own without you holding onto the lead. This product is good for all ages but is very useful for younger birds. Your young bird will gain confidence moving around outside with you at a distance.

 The Aviator Flight Line is great for training outdoor flying and landing skills like recall training. It is very important for young birds to learn how to fly out and return to where they came from. A bird in the house does this but only because there are walls and other objects that make him turn around. It is a completely different experience in an open space.

The Aviator Leash Extensions are useful for moving around with your bird. As you slowly build up his strength and endurance you can let out more lead to fly longer distances.

Birds that do not have outdoor flying experience will usually fly in a straight line and may disappear if they accidentally get out on their own. A bird without outdoor experience can quickly become afraid. Because of lack of experience he will not know how to turn, and will not know how to land in grass or a limb with leaves on it. He will also have no idea where he is because he does not understand how the outside world works.

It does not take long for a healthy bird in good condition to learn all he needs to know to act more like a bird raised in the wild and not get lost. The Aviator Leash Extension can help you train your bird to fly freely without fear of getting lost.
