04/10/2019 - This bird has been creance flying and has done so well that he is ready for release! In creance flying, a bird is tethered to one of our trainers and given progressively more line as he gets stronger and can fly farther. Tethering keeps birds safe, and allows them to gain flight strength while assuring that they can be retrieved as they train.
