Kermit just crashed head first into a window. He's fine, but what bothers me is that this accident could have been prevented if his wings had NOT been clipped. Something spooked him and Ducky and they both took off, Ducky flew gracefully around the room and landed on my head, and Kermit went right smack into a window, because he couldn't turn quickly enough, while Ducky has never crashed into anything and is an excellent flier. Of course, I will be buying curtains for that window, but the point is, it's much more dangerous to have a clipped bird than a flighted bird. Clipped birds cannot control their flight like fully flighted birds, who can maneuver precisely and change direction at lightning speed. Kermit could have knocked himself out in that collision, or even died. I'm so relieved that he's fine, but I feel people should be aware of the dangers of clipped wings.
