| I wish I could perfect recall with Apple. He's just SO unmotivated sometimes, even with millet! | |

| Me and Einstein were really awesome with recalling. But I've gotten too lazy. We haven't done any formal training in a while. | |

| The article doesn't say if he was fully flighted or a case of a clipped-but-growing-in parrot that caught a breeze and flew off. I just hope the guy gets him back in one piece. | |

| From my understanding on another list, this bird was fully flighted, not recall trained, never made to fly away before so the owner was lulled into a false sense of security that the bird would never fly away from him. | |
