Kiwi just got her wings clipped :(

[kahawia]

I am leaving for Europe and my parents are taking care of my little Caique, Kiwi. She knows her "perch" and "come Kiwi" commands, but my parents insisted while in their care they can't deal with her flying about. I was so mad but I couldn't argue because they were going to take completely change their schedules for her. So she got clipped and her beautiful violet flight feathers are gone. She just finished her molt so I am wondering how long until she gains complete flight abilities back? It hasn't seemed to mentally affect her. But does anyone know how long it will take?

It will take about 6 months for them to grow back. Birds typically moult twice a year from my experience.

Oh wow, my bird kiwi just got his wings clipped too. My mom insisted that his wings needed clipped just like your parents.
