Tango - Green Cheek Conure
Okay, so anyone know how long it usually takes for a green cheek's flight feathers to grow back after being clipped? Tango's wings were clipped when I got him from Petco, and I'm not sure if I want to have them clipped again. But if I don't, I'll be worried about him flying away when it's time to go back in his cage of if I take him outside (unless I have a flight suit or harness for him).

Speaking of flight suits and harnesses, which would be better for a 3-4 month old green cheek? And any good, reputable places to get them? Also, would I need to get a new flight suit/harness when he grows or are they adjustable?

Any answers will be much appreciated. ^^

Thanks in advance~

There are 2 threads that have advice on flight suits. I know I have one and someone else asked questions on them as well. Scroll down the active threads and you will come across them. :)

I saw it, thank you! :D And I must say, it's fantastic! All the information in there, and the humor and design are great.

Now I just need to find out how long it should take for Tango's flight feathers to grow in... >.<

Flight feathers can take a little time to grow in.
Here is a link to one of the threads about flight suits. .....

I hope this helps you out.....if you buy a flight suit for a bird that young, you may need to get another one as he gets bigger
