A lot of you have been asking on facebook about certain locations and why we fly at the places we do with our birds and our newest freeflight students.

I have to come out and admit, a lot of the places are random when it’s just me and Dave flying our flock. We travel A LOT and when we are, we are always looking at possible places to fly our birds.

The main reason we fly where we do it based on where our Freestyle Flyer students live. It’s always good for us to go where they live (most recently California) and find places near them. But it’s also nice to meet somewhere in the middle sometimes, too, especially if we’re on the road anyway and have to be somewhere.

Because we are on the east coast, settling for somewhere in the midwest seems to work out when our students are on the west coast. Our favorite places to fly (as of now) are Waynesboro, Virginia and Moab, Utah. Moab was the very first place we did a lot of freeflight. We began our freeflight journey in Las Vegas and Florida but Moab was where Cressi progressed the most and we had the most fun so it holds a special place in our hearts and is one of the best spots to fly birds.

He is a 5 year old military macaw who was clipped before properly learning to fledge (fly at a young age). When we got him 4.5 years ago, he came to us at just 6 months old and we immediately let his wings grow out in the hopes to teach him to fly properly. Letting wings grow out on a bird can take a long time, and usually takes almost an entire molt so that the feathers fall out naturally and re-grow back in. This can be anywhere from 6 months to ...
