lovethatgrey Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I am very glad to share some happy news! My little Emma can now fly, glide, hover and LAND properly as of this weekend. She turned 17 months old this week and was clipped TWICE before coming home to me last year. Even when she was clipped, she could still fly for long distances but ultimately she would also crashed into walls ALOT. :unsure: I am super pleased with her progress because I was getting concerned about her crash landings into things. I worried that the bad landings might get in the way of her confidence with flying and landing skillfully. I started to notice that she would only resort to flying when she became impatient and wanted to come to me or when something startled her. While I write this I am also reminded that I will never bring her outside without her Adventure pack.. The risk of losing her would be too great if something startled her and she instinctively decided to flee . {Love-0002011E}<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/08/09 23:19
Luvparrots Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Congratulations to sweet Emma. May she enjoy her new freedom!
judygram Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Congrats on Emma taking flight, she will be a more confident grey now that she has mastered her skills and I agree 100% on the taking her outside only in her adventure pack unless she will wear a harness, it is too risky.
danmcq Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Congratulations Emma, you are know one of the Bold, the Brave, the Few that will now venture where no clipped bird has ever gone.......skyward (well towards the ceiling, no unharnessed flights)!! :-)
she Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Well done Emma. Can I just add that no bird clipped or not should be outside without a carrier or harness,even clipped birds can fly.
Janfromboone Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 I'm so jealous. Tobie has one wing fully feathered now but the other wing is completely devoid of flight feathers. Well there is one lonely feather that I am sure is doomed. One wing on and one wing off is worse than two wings off or two wings clipped. He crashes brutally.
Joolesgreyuk Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 That's great news and wonderful for Emma, bless her.
MsGardeness Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Yay for Emma - I'm so happy for you and her! I would love to have all my parrots flighted but worry about them getting up too much speed and crashing into the windows or walls. :ohmy: ouch!
