- Beo (Crimson-bellied Conure), Luca (Turquoise Green-Cheek Conure)
I had hoped my first post here would be a happier one, but I just really need to vent right now. So I have this sweet little crimson bellied conure named Beo. Heās my first bird and I love him to bits. When I got him back in December his wings were already clipped. I didnāt mind this since it meant he couldnāt fly around and hurt himself when we first got him home and it made it easier for him to bond with me. He loves me now and is the sweetest little thing and is really easy to train so when his molt happened and he got some primaries back, I made the decision to not have his wings clipped again. I started training him and having him practice flying to my hand every day. He loved it so much and I was so proud of him. You could just see the joy on his stupid little face. He started trying to fly the whole way to my room to see me, too, instead of walking like he used to. I feel terrible now that this has been taken away from him.
When I handed Beo over to the guy at the front desk I made sure to request that his feathers not be clipped, but I guess this info wasnāt relayed since he ended up clipped anyway. I didnāt even notice anything wrong with his wings until I got home and thought to check if they did clip him. When I noticed it broke my heart and Iām still upset about it. I feel really bad for Beo since he obviously loved flying so much.
I think itās safe to say Iām never shopping at this place again, which sucks since itās the only bird store in my area with regular hours thatās not Petco or Petsmart. I bought Beo at this store and also just bought my Turquoise from there only a week and a half ago.
I know itās not that big of a deal and the feathers will grow back eventually but I just feel bad for Beo now that he canāt fly anymore, especially when heās come to love it so much...
