also make sure you ask /in advance not as they are doing it/
whoever does this to check each feather for blood so they don't
cut into a blood feather..... I clip 8 feathers on each side
wanting my q's truly grounded to cage area and playgym. The rest
of the house is Mine. lol

I also clip when they are babys about 7 weeks old or so... when
they can fly, maneuver under doorways and land gracefully then I
clip.

Do you know about feeding fresh foods??? Most important in diet.
I will check later and so will others I'm sure.... :-)

good thoughts your way. Hope you stay with our group.
