Hi everyone! i am not new to parrots but i am new to this/and some other forums. Reading all the information i found online is very interesting, since the store that i bought my african grey from pretty much told me to do the opposite of everything that i can find online in these forums.
so the question is ...should i or should i not clip my birds wings? the store clipped them, they said its for safety, so they dont run into windows and such but now i think my birds have lost their confidence that they had. another parrots forum type of a site | Meet The Parrots tells me to clip them ..but a different one named theparrotforum.com says not to.
so i am very confused ...should i get them done or not??? (wings)
nails, it makes sense to groom them every few months because they will affect the birds directly but wings...i dont know..
another question is ...how often should i give my grey a bath...they sold me some parrot shampoo and said do it every month ...
cuz of dust and what not.
any suggestions?
