I know everyone has different opinions about keeping a parrot clipped or not. I was faced with a dilemma as I am in the middle of a move that was not planned for. I didn't want to board my parrot as the last time I did he was really upset with me for days and I was not happy with the way they took care of him (He stunk, he was aggressive etc.)
I am going to leave him with my sister for the weekend while I go house hunting but she is not very experienced with parrots. She does want to get one though so I figured this would be good practice for her. I decided to get my little Rio clipped so she wouldn't have to worry about him flying out of her hands and out of a window or into a pot while she is cooking.
He took it like a champion, and I plan to let them grow back out once we are settled into our new place. But I guess I am feeling guilty and I loved seeing him fly from his cage to me.
Think he will forgive me? I feel more stressed out than he does.
Since it was such short notice I didn't have time to go shopping for another boarding place, and I didn't want to leave him with someone he doesn't know.
