I am also torn between clipping and not clipping Frankie's wings! As of right now he is only clipped on one side which was not something I did or had done. I am afriad that if Frankie is not clipped he will try to escape and get hurt because he is still somewhat nervous and untrusting of us and when we approach him when he is out of his cage.....he jumps and growls! Today he sat on a laundry basket for a really long time and when it was time to go back into his cage....I picked the laundry basket up slowly and talked to him and he didn't growl or anything.....and I got into his cage with no problems! :gray:
