TO CLIP OR NOT TO CLIP
I have been thinking of clipping Mango's wings but they are too beautiful to clip lol and it would probably take a year for them all to fully grow back I know he will be able to fly in a few months after but won't have all his flight feathers until about a year.Im thinking it will help him with his fear of hands since he won't be flying away and will stay close to me to get used to me and he has been doing good stepping on the perch.Should I CLIP or NOT.
