Flight Returns
Out on the garden to day, George & Mildred were quite content to sit in the Sun until, George decided to stretch his wings and hey Presto they worked, he went 10 yards but luckily could not gain any height. Happy it was to day and not next week or it might have been a different ending. Remember people if in doubt keep them in or give them a clip.

Amen! Baby has always been without flight. I wasnt convinced a clipped bird could fly until the other day when he got spooked. He got an impressive distance and taught me... a clipped bird can fly a heck of a light further that I thought.
Like you, thank heavens it wasnt a tramatic episode. But, I sure learned that day.
That was actually the day I starting clipping Baby's ring.
Really glad for you all is well.

Lucky! You are very brave taking them outside. I envy those that can!
Gosh, I really want to take Yoda outside. But I'm just not trusting enough yet and I suspect Yoda doesn't trust me that much either at the moment. I dont think my 2 will get a taste of the outside world. Jibby loves to sit outside in the cage and we've had a few family bbqs at mums with him soaking up some sun in his cage. But I'm afraid thats all they will get as I worry too much about them flying away but then, don't we all have to be cautious!

Its a risk we take and perhaps we shouldnt. My friend did ours the first time, but because they are a light bird it doesnt take as much effort as say a Cockatoo. Will have to look at it again and see if its worth letting them out again. I do not like the idea of them being locked away, I do not keep the cat under lock and key. Looks like being a trim every 4 month. because they like it outside plenty to explore.
