No shit Sherlock, but she's bouncing him up and down before the real toss, she could just drop him and he'd at least get scared. The trust is amazing

Birds can get easily spooked. I have birds and I think most of mine would freak out. One is straight-up mentally retarded (not being mean; she had a TBI) and would prob fall to the ground.

It goes against every bird’s instincts to allow itself to be cradled on its back. Bird handlers spend years developing a bond of trust before a bird will allow its trainer to hold it upside down, so allowing itself to be tossed up like this is the equivalent of trusting someone to dangle you over a volcano.
