Taming a fly is something that may seem impossible to many people, however, if you have a bit of patience and determination, it is actually possible!
The first step to successfully taming a fly is to get the right supplies. You’ll need something to catch the fly, such as a jar with a few airholes punched into the lid, or a net. You’ll also need a fly swatter in case you cannot catch the fly with the jar or net. You’ll also need something to reward the fly, such as small bits of food like a piece of banana or a small piece of cheese.
The next step is to identify the fly’s personality. As with any creature, flies have individual personalities which can affect how you approach them for taming. If the fly seems to be timid and easily scared away, you should move slower and talk softly when you approach it. If the fly seems bold and unafraid, you can move more quickly.
The next step is to actually catch the fly. Initiate the taming process by slowly and calmly walking towards the fly. Talk to it in a calm voice and never make any aggressive movements, as this could scare the fly away. Move the jar, net, or fly swatter slowly and gently, and try to position it so that you can swoop in and catch the fly without startling it.
Once you’ve got the fly in the jar or net, it’s time to start training. Hold the fly in your hands or on a flat surface and offer it a reward if it behaves properly. To start the taming process, the fly needs to learn that it can trust humans, so you’ll need to reward it with a food treat for any good behavior. Be patient, as it may take some time for the fly to understand that it’s safe in your hands.
Once you’ve established trust with the fly, you can advance with the taming process. Try to train the fly to come when called, by making a clicking noise or buzzing sound. You can also try to teach it to stay put, by slightly tapping the surface it is sitting on and repeating the command in a gentle voice.
Taming a fly is not a task for the faint of heart, but if you are patient and consistent, it is possible. With the right supplies, a steady hand, and a bit of patience, you can successfully tame a fly. Whether you just want to watch it fly around your yard or you’re looking to keep it as a pet, it’s possible to do it with the right approach.
