    Hello anti-flying friends,
    I have compassion for you and your position. I fully understand what it is like
    to experience fear about letting your babies experience a life full of excitement,
    adventure, and physical and emotional stimulation. However, I find your
    anti-flight arguments to be based in myths, or exaggerated stories that may or may
    not have ever happened. A wise mentor once told me that a well-educated parrot
    who is comfortable flying is intelligent enough to hover over the pot of boiling
    water, which it IS capable of identifying as dangerous. I am sure that there are
    happy birds with mutilated wings, but they are no more happy than any other animal
    or human that has lost a fundamental part of their anatomy. I wish that more of
    you would take the time to investigate the history of wing-mutilation and the
    health effects of clipping wings of parrots. Some of you, I am sad to say,
    probably still feed your birds an all-seed diet. ten years ago, people thought
    anything other than seed was just crazy to feed to a parrot. Look how much has
    changed as people have become more enlightened. -Magia
