Bird Not Flying Anymore?

Postby kikidee » Wed Jun 10, 2015 8:43 am

Hey guys,

I just recently went on a 17 day trip to Europe. None of my friends were able to watch Navi for that amount of time so I boarded him at the exotic bird store I bought him from. He is fully flighted, but when we came back home with him 2 days ago, I noticed he wasn't trying to fly at all. Then he would try to fly but he would just land on the floor as if he had been clipped. His wings don't look like they have been clipped at all as they are long and meet in the back like they always do. This has been happening for two days, is something wrong or does this mean they clipped him? I called to ask and they told me they wouldnt have clipped him unless we asked for it which we didn't.

Can you post pictures of him with wings opened? Are any of the primaries squared off or are they all rounded on the ends?
