This is a choice that only you should make. It will be your grey and only you will know the personality of your grey and circumstances in which your grey will live. I wanted my grey flighted when I purchased her a year ago. Her breeder did not give me a choice. Knowing how much I wanted my grey to fly, she clipped her anyway. She clips all her birds. I was insulted and this has been a sore spot with Ana Grey's breeder and me although we have remained friends. She is not happy that I choose to let Ana Grey's flight feathers grow back in. But as I had to let her breeder clip Ana Grey before I purchased her, now that she is my companion, it is my choice to let her be fully flighted. I am excited about Ana Grey being able to fly and will let her remain so as long as I believe she will be safe as a flighted bird. Life is not set in stone and circumstances and situations change. Ana Grey tries everyday to fly and she can now travel over 8 feet by air though still downward. She wants to fly so very much and I can't wait for her to take flight all around the house. Good luck with your decision.
