im pretty sure this free flight question has been brought up before but...
if you have a SINGLE lovebird, one who you get as a hand fed baby just weaned and spend LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of time with it and it bonds to you...(lovebirds bond so strongly that they can die of heartbreak when seperaed from their mate, be that mate other bird or human...however they also bodn so strongly that they will only accept 1 mate...)
then its 100% absolutely possible to free flight them incredibly easily....
BUT...this is also a bird about the size of a chicken nugget...they are prime prey for larger birds, cats, ect...and a cat WILL take a lovvie.
free flighted birds are living breathing THINKING and SPOOKING prey animals..occasionally they will do something unexpected and that can be the end...
in the town I used to live in there was a guy with a free flighted lovebird that always came with him, hed walk own town with this ltitle lovebird cinging to his shouldr riding on his head or snuggled into his pocket...saw him every day for 2 years...the bird never bolted, never spooed, never left his side, it just snuggled close and seemed to truly enjoy the walk...
then one day something happened...we don't know what...he doesn't know what...BUT something spooked the little guy and it flew off into a nearby tree next to the library...that had been feeding a local stray cat who helped keep the mice out of the old building...the cat saw the bird and was up that tree before we mear humans knew what was happening...the bird was dead before his owner could cross the street to get close...the whole thing took less than 3 mins...he was devastated, the lovebird didn't stand a chance against the cat
2 years of the same routein...2 years of nothing bad happening, 2 years of "oh he never ries to fly away" all gone in about 3 mins...
so while its easy to bond well enough with a lovebird that they come back to you...its still not something id EVER consider safe...
Which part of this question "How hard is it to free flight your lovebird?" is so hard to understand?
Could you translate the video please or post an English version for those of us who don't speak whatever language it's in? I don't get the point of this post either because I don't understand the video.
Are you asking how hard it is to free flight or was that a rhetorical question implying that people should free flight their love birds? This post is a bit confusing given the question is not clear and the video isn't in a language I understand.
