I studied the diagram you provided a few weeks ago Kevin but when it came to it i only clipped 6 feathers, was that a waste of time do you think? They haven't been out since we moved 3 weeks ago as it's been so hectic. The new house is quite open plan, and i had to put their cage is the extension cos it's too big for the front room. Their room opens into the dining room and there's a little hatch through to the kitchen. When i was transfering them back into their big cage charlie escaped and i had a hell of a job catching him, he went through to the kitchen and was flying onto the tops of the kitchen cupboards, nightmare! Since then Charlie has been really noisy, doing his 'alarm chirp' nearly all the time driving us all nuts! I got them out in a t- towel to trim their nails as they were looking long, i though maybe they were troubling him, and i though while they were in hand i'd do the clip. Trouble is when it came to it i didn't want to overdo it, and the lower primarys looked so small so i just clipped the first 6, and i only took about 1 cm off. They seem able to fly as before in their cage, it doesn't seem to have had any effect at all. Edited by abby, Aug 23 2008, 01:06 PM.
