So sorry to hear that.
U couldn't even begin to imagine how popular i was because I also don't believe in clipping wings. I let my birds fly around the house. However she loves him now some nights he sleeps on her pillow and I'm on the couchBet she loved you for that...
Sorry to hear.My cockatiel died this morning went to uncover her and there she was, she was fine the night before
She was 13 :c
Fly high lil birdy
Well, it looks like his birdie charm has won over your significant other... My quaker sleeps in her feeding box, with her stockpile of food... She's a sweetie (I'm her favourite), always attacks strangers for me! (a.k.a friends and family)U couldn't even begin to imagine how popular i was because I also don't believe in clipping wings.

My birdies just multiplied!!! And now we have a breeding pair of King Quail... anyone want some eggs? These are some finches that bred... one of them has been successfully tamed and is an ace at step-up practice! (There were 6 eggs, all hatched but one died after so now we have only 5 young finches that look nothing like babies anymore!)I used to keep budgies,finches and stubble quail.Then we had a galah for over 20 years,nowadays I have a pair of Australorps,great for eating scraps and supplying lovely eggs.

I couldn't agree more it makes no sense.Isn't wing clipping just awful, so misguided.
I took my cockatoo to the vet when I first got him. I was 17 and not experienced enough to know never let a vet take your animal into another room. When he came back he had cut my boys wings all the way up to the muscle. All primaries and secondaries gone! I was MORTIFIED! he was acting like he did me a favour and wanted $55 for the pleasure!
It took a year for his next moult of course and no one got hear his beautiful wings again!
Some favourite baby photos of those glorious wings

Loved watching them fly inside and even more once they had their aviary.
She's actually moulting in the picture.We got our Quaker wing-clipped the first time we got her, but even though it was a perfect trim, we soon found out that NOTHING stops the Quaker Parrot Flying Machine. The cheeky little bugger still winged her way around the house, so we just let her feathers grow back. Now she just follows us around.
