you know that is a cool name Lincoln. he looks around the same age as Maxx maybe older how come he has yet to fly? I know Maxx was full flight before I brought him home at 22 weeks, he was not good at it but he could. I cut his feathers before bringing him home with the thought will let them grow back after he gets the lay of his new lives. he still can get across the room and he lands on chair backs and such but he has to start from the top of his cage. he has no lift but he can land softly.
I had no idea you had a plucking issue, it can be stopped but it is a long process. I have watched the gal I buy birds from and she takes in some rescues that are pretty bad. she seems to get them turned around and then she finds them homes. she had a blue and gold McCaw was in bad shape 6 months later the bird growing in good and took to a customer in the store who was not looking to buy a bird but does own birds from this store. and the bird ended up going home with this customer at no charge. the people I deal with are in this for the birds first.you know that is a cool name Lincoln. he looks around the same age as Maxx maybe older how come he has yet to fly?

I was told Lincoln is 13 and he can't fly as of now due to a feather chewing problem that he had prior to me getting him. Hopefully that clears up though. There's a chance it won't since idk how long it's been going on but I really hope it does!
besides I'm worried one may get hurt flying in the house. it is great to have the little birds flying around the house due to the size and
they can still do balls out flying without having to avoid much. the larger birds are another story I feel it a real tease to them to have them flighted
if you are keeping them in an area where they can't go balls out if they want.
