I know I`m responding to this late... but THANK YOU for such a well told and important story. I couldn`t even imagine the fear you must have felt when your Zoe flew away. I am SO glad your story had a happy ending. I understand the pros and cons of BOTH sides of this issue...but I`d rather be safe than sorry...I do everything in my power to be a responsible bird owner, but I`m human and I`m not exempt from making mistakes (and my bird has a mind of her own too)... I choose to clip my bird`s wings. I also choose to not use teflon...My parents think I`m nuts about how protective I am, and how paranoid I can get when it comes to the health of my bird. The choices I make are to protect my bird...and for NO other reason. And that`s just my personal opinion...and me and my bird are both safe and happy... THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!
