I have had my conure escape out of the house twice but fortunately was able to quickly retrieve her. So I get her wigs clipped which I would rather not do as when she is flying, it looks like good exercise for her. But I don't want to lose her.
I am now thinking as she gets her flight capabilities back, she seems to be biting harder and more frequently. I am disciplining her with time outs in the bathroom and she quickly responds to the punishment. I try to hold off on the clipping for as long as possible. I try to wait until she is fully flighted.
I was just wondering if this observation is skewed to my imagination or that clipping a parrot makes it more docile because it is more dependent.
