He's flew birds with me for ten months now and is doing very well and more then capable of flying his own bird on his own ,this is the way he wants to approache it I've pointed out the pit falls of taking some one else's bird on but if that what he wants to do and doesn't want to train a fresh bird and has money to go ahead then that's his choice,he's been flying 2 of my birds and will do well my jobs done but I will still be at the other end of the phone incase he needs me
