Training Spirit was an eye opener in a couple of ways. First of all, he is a big, strong bird capable of challenging a human on a physical level. He is a very fast learner, and vocally communicative. Fortunately, he doesn't have a mean bone in his body and has never bitten and since his introduction to the glove, has never struck with his talons.
