From everything I have read, and what my vet has told me, birds are more emotionally healthly if they are not clipped. When I got Bob he was clipped, but I am not going to continue the practice with him.
I am a little nervous about this as he already seems to be a rather impressive flier; he has flown across my home gaining altitude, and will take off for my shoulder when on my finger and my hand is over his wings trying to prevent significant movement; especially flight.
He is a good, lovable and silly bird... I just wish he was a bit more accomidating to my wishes. Oh well, I love him even as he poops on my shoulder.
