   Don't expect the bird to catch a fly right away! Just try using food or the bead! , Don't give them a big one, give them one they can eat. , If their wings aren't clipped, that is a good thing as they will chase it around.
   
   If they have been clipped, they will just walk around chasing it. , Seed works well, but they will eat the fly.
