This video shares the story of Kiwi and Tiki, two older and bonded black capped conures living with their humans Lauren and Jeff, who decide to pursue freeflight with us.
Although we don’t normally take on such small freeflight students, Dave had an initial consultation with them and decided they’d be the right fit for the course. To find out if you and your bird can free fly with us, book a freeflight consult!
To learn more about the Telemetry we used on these conures, visit https://www.birdtricksgps.com/ keep in mind that although we started both conures out with Telemetry tracking, it was eventually taken off as they flew much better without the units (the units are 3 grams in weight on such a small bird and do make a difference in their flight patterns and can weigh some birds down.)

Do green cheeks and black caps have similar temperaments ?
I wanna free flight my jenday. But I’m scared I’d lose her forever
I think it’s actually safer to free fly small birds that to free fly big birds. Because I think that birds like hawks would rather try to catch an big bird so he gets a lot of food, than to catch that very quick and nimble small bird that it wouldn’t even be worth the effort because,well, the hawk will not get a lot of food
Never could do outside flight in my area because of the Hawks. Had a couple calls to close to ever try again.
i just got a black capped conure and she is so sweet, but she is CRAZy when we let her out lol
So you're saying you can free flight little birds? Budgies? Cockatiels?
what a wonderful couple ,, great video , fun, informative and heart warming .
I also have a black capped conure and he’s such a little baby ❤️
Tell your conure your name and they might call by name.
Absolutely Love watching all your videos!!! I am so bummed I only just saw you guys came to Australia I would of loved to of had training with BirdTricks. Is there a free flight trainer you know of in Australia that you would recommend as I am wanting to free fly my Galah but want to do it with a trainer in person.
What areas can you free fly your birds?
I watched this over and over
I heard conures don’t really talk
As soon as I got my 2nd bird (cockatiel) i was like "can I freeflight train her? She is so small!" turns out you can basically freefly train any parrot it just takes lots of time. My cockatiel sydney is now happily freeflying outside now. Btw you have inspired me a lot!
I was considering getting either a green wing or African Grey. Do you guys think that the green wing would respond better to flight training? I'm honestly between the two breeds because they're both very intelligent, but I ultimately would want to work with my bird and train them as much as I can (with time, of course). Thanks!
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience to me. I have a 5 month old Quaker parrot hen. Hopi has toilet trained herself! I noticed she would flap her wings periodically when she sat on my shoulder and felt she was trying to communicate something to me. I tried putting her in her cage when she would do it thinking she might be tired and she pooped straight away. The next time she flapped I put her in again and she pooped straight away again. I gave her a seed as a reward and she hasn't pooped on me since! Every time she flaps her wings I put her in her cage and she poops like clockwork. I am stoked! I haven't had a bird before but she seems extremely intelligent by any species standard… including human haha. Looking forward to flight training her!
These guys are cute. I have a rescue wild bird and that first step of free flight is the hardest. Are they going to be ok. Are they going to be able to find home. etc etc.. Just gotta have trust in your friend and give him a chance.
Having a mostly empty desert around sure helps.
With plenty of predators and trees around, free-flight (especially with small birds) can quickly become very problematic, no matter how strong your bond with a bird is. We are now looking for large indoor areas (closed off) that will allow us access.
"Trust your gut but mostly trust Dave" 😂 i have a black cap conure in my flock too and its amazing to see these guys outside. Id be so afraid of her getting in a tree and blinding in lol
I can't freely my conures here. I live in the country and we have so many hawks.
Very nice!! Im watching this video with my conure and every time you use the clicker my bird is looking like, ""are we training???"" Lol but seriously i love your story, Jake is 2 years and 7 months, ive been doing indoor flight training but not outdoors, "yet", little to afraid for the same reasons you stated!! We will see, i want to.👍👍♥️♥️♥️🤣
I have a sad memory of walking down the side of my house, and somebody's loose budgie saw me and flew straight to me. He didnt make it, a crow dived and decapitated him. Then moved on, not even stopping to examine the corpse.
