I use an external flash and bounce it off the ceiling when
photographing our gliders. This brightens up the room
without popping them directly in their eyes. That doesn't
seem to bother them a bit, and it completely eliminates
red-eye in the photographs.

If you only have an on-camera flash, you might try using
some sort of a diffuser. For lack of anything better, try
taping a layer or two of wax paper over your flash.

Good luck!
