My only experience with pet birds was an old girlfriends cockateel. It was
a perfect snow white specimen with a wonderful character. It had the run
of the house without a doubt. To clip that bird would have been a sin. People
in this group seem to know that house birds take a while to learn to fly.
I thought it was just her bird. I'd say it didn't have the hang of things
for at least 6 to 12 months.
