Hardly a day goes by without me seeing a heartbreaking post from someone whose parrot flew away unexpectedly. Many are never recovered and almost none of them have the skills necessary to survive long in the wild.

Flight feather trimming - done correctly - is painless, inexpensive, and temporary. If you're not certain that your bird's environment can't be compromised by someone inadvertently losing their focus, accidentally leaving a door or window open, please consider trimming your bird's flight feathers.

Todd

P.S. I will not debate the pros and cons of doing this. I know it's a controversial topic and I have no argument with those who choose to allow their birds to fly freely. If you disagree, please keep scrolling. Thanks.
