First Flight Feather!

Postby Cal » Mon Sep 02, 2013 7:01 pm

Just thought I'd post this here because I'm super excited!
My GCC, Monkey, was clipped when I got him. I woke up this morning, opened up his cage, and noticed he has a gorgeous new bright blue flight feather on his left wing! I'm so happy for him! This is his first step to becoming a fully flighted bird.

He stretches and flaps his wings occasionally, so I'm hoping it'll be an easy transition once he has a full set of flight feathers. I don't know if any of his previous owners left him flighted, but he has attempted to fly twice since he's been here, so I think he might know how.

I'm just so excited for him! Time to start flight proofing the house!

Great news. He won't get them all back for another year but he can start gliding with two on each side.

I know it'll be a while before he can fly properly, but still, he's gonna be relearning how to use his wings! That makes me so happy! So far he's only got the one, but it's a start.
