I once did a school show using a body load and I allowed the dove to perch on my finger. I did not anticipate that the children would scream very loudly as well as clap thunderously. The dove also didn't anticipate this and flew in fright. Fortunately, she was trained well enough to fly around the auditorium and returned back to the stage and lit on the top of the portable stage frame and perched there until she vanished in the drawer box. It was a very scary and very cool moment on the stage.
