Re: Flighted Birds......
Posted by Bluebird on 1/11/06

Patsy, I own birds that have been clipped and birds that
have been allowed to fly from fledging on. My birds that have
been able to fly all their lives are happier and much more
confident than the birds that were clipped. I live in a
moderately sized home with three bedrooms and my birds that
have always flown can negotiate the obstacales in house
easily. I have never had any bird fly into a window or a pot.
The birds that previously were clipped now fly too and their
confidence level has increased. Yes, they need to be watched
or there is a chunk out of the woodwork. If we are going
keep birds that were designed to fly we need to try to give
them the best possible lives and let them do what they were
made to do.
