That stuff definitely takes time, especially if you don't have a pig-bird who will pretty much fly through a hoop of fire for a treat, like I do. :P (The disadvantage of that is that they do NOT want to leave me alone when I'm eating!)
I'm impressed with how fast Gabe is picking up flying on cue!
I'm just now starting to really work on out-of-sight flighted recall. I haven't had much time to devote to training lately, unfortunately, but the birds are getting better at it, slowly but surely. It's amazing how things like that, which I think of as a logical extension of the regular flighted recall, can take a while for my birds to learn. It really reminds me that I need too look at things from their perspective, not from mine, when training. :)
