So I am touching base and letting everyone know Sierra is still alive. Have had some great stories or experiences lol. We don’t clip her wings and she flies where she wants in the house. Now I know some of you are very against this but she even goes outside with me, if I don’t she just goes to the window and screams. But she is doing very good

Glad to hear it! As long as you are very careful, I don't see that as being an issue- lots of people (myself included) have birds with unclipped wings...It CAN be a risk, but IMO that is a risk that can be best gauged by the individual and the individual bird.

She flew too high one day but I just kept my eye on her and and strongly was talking to her so if she is confused she knows where to go. But she loves to perch high in the trees that day and while myself and my kids was trying to get her down, she would either laugh at us or pretend to cough.

Have you tried using some sort of behavior intervention to deal with the screaming? I know SOME is natural, but constant can be curtailed. The bird sh*t, not so much lol!
