y'all I had to have Charlie's wings clipped today. It was the first time for us both. His beautiful feathers! He has gotten so aggressive this year and he has bitten both me and hubby on or near the eyes when he flies at us from the top of his cage. He got my eyelid and hubby about an inch below his eye. I know it needed to be done and I am glad we did it but when they carried him away he was so scared and I cried. He also bit my nose as I was helping him out of the travel cage. ouch. How on earth can I love somebirdy so much who is so bitey and mean? I do though. I don't think Charlie has ever been clipped before. I have never had him clipped and I have had him since 2012. I know that safety comes first and it didn't hurt him at all so I have no idea why I feel so guilty but I do. I really think it's because he was scared and I could tell from his posture and the look in his eyes. For those of you who clip, do your birds get use to having them done?
