Nero-B&G Macaw-hatch 12/20/11-DNA male
Ocha-G Quaker-7yo- Female
Razzbin-Jenday Conure- hatch 1/21/13- ?
When I got my Jenday he/she (we call her she) was already clipped. She was a few months old.
Her wings have finally grown in and have been for a bit now. She just turned 1 at the end of last month.
So Razzbin will be on her playstand and calling out for me. If I am busy she will jump and flutter down to the floor then walk/run to find me. If she wants up onto something she just climbs up.
I am starting to think she wasn't allow to learn to fly before her wings were clipped. I know I have read here and there that it is best to allow them to learn before clipping but have never read WHY, so why is that and if it wasnt allowed, what does that mean for my Razzbin?
I know she can teach herself, but how can she do this? How can I aid her?
I keep my Quaker clipped because she was a danger to herself, she broke her leg. (history, I got my Quaker when she was 7-8 years old and was locked in a cage for that whole time)
My other bird is a flighted B&G, who was this way when I got him.
Just trying to offer my birdie the life of a bird ) Thanks in advance for your help!
