I would as stated above introduce to other people and dogs so you don’t have any problems later on. I would take with a leash to a park or somewhere where there is some pigeons to see his reaction. That’s just to see if he will point and hold for you on them. That’s only sight but it’s a start. Then try and get some bird scent for the birds you plan on hunting and put it on something for a drag to drag through a field or some bushes to see how his nose is working. This stuff all takes time but can be rewarding. If he looks like he is going to be doing good get some wings and sent them and drag them or toss them into some bushes and see if he can find them. I will caution you to never introduce him to loud noises like firecrackers or gun shots until he is onto a bird or something. If not you very well could make him gun shy which would be no good to you hunting wise. Good luck..
