I don't see an 'unfazed' parrot. I see a worried parrot (eathers stuck tight to his body) trying as hard as he can (he is clipped so he has no choice but to use his feet) to get to a 'safe' place...

And actually he knows he can come to me for a lift so he does have a choice.And the beak is used for climbing too not just the feet and just because he is clipped that does not mean he cannot fly. :roll:

Brandon, with the short clip he has (every primary all the way down to the secondaries), he cannot fly away and he knows this - at most, he can glide.

He can fly around the room a good bit before landing.And no your wrong only 4 primary feathers are clipped exactly so your comment is wrong.

I did not see any long primary on the video, all the feathers looked the same short length and none were 'sticking out' over his back but it doesn't matter, it is what it is.

Did I say he had any long primaries? No i did not.4 are clipped the same length that dosent mean all his primaries are gone lol.Nobody wants your negativity here I only posted a video and Mango is none of your concern.

Don't start, Brandon. I simply made a comment because people tend to misread birds behaviors seeing something positive when, sometimes, it's not and that has always been a concern of mine.
