SaladNinja Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 AAAAHHH! I haven't had time to post about this since I've been so busy at work, but it's high time it went up here. A couple days ago, Noodle flew out the back door and down about three blocks! His wings are trimmed (not fully clipped) and we didn't even know he could pick up that much velocity and altitude. We found him on the side of someone's house, clucking and whistling for his daddy. THANK GOD he was ok - just a little bump on the nose. Cody brought him home, and he hasn't seemed too shaken up, unlike Cody and I. We almost lost our baby! I guess the moral of this story is that greys can surprise you; we didn't think that Noodle was such a strong flier, especially with trimmed wings, but man can he just power on through. Please, please be careful as the weather warms up with open windows and doors! I don't want to see anyone else go through this or something worse. Happy summer and much love, SaladNinja and Noodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wow, thank god you found him! Your so spot on in regards being careful with a bird even if your bird is clipped... they can fly in many cases when startled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thank you for your post. I am so happy that you were able to quickly bring Noodle home. I can attest to the ability of a "clipped" grey. When I purchased my CAG, Sterling Gris, big 505g guy, he could fly despite the clipping. He was more clumsy than my TAG and ZON who were not clipped but Sterling Gris could hold his own in the flight area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I didn't know if I had the strength to read about a lost grey, but I couldn't resist being here when a forum friend is in need of a kind word. What a relief that you found Noodle so quickly. For him, for you and for us, just a total wash of relief has come over me. Thanks for sharing, if not for these moments of fear and relief, we wouldn't reach those moments of unbridled joy that was yours when you reunited. Gilbert can't fly because of damaged wings, but every day I treat him as if he can fly with great skill and who knows, there may come a day when he surprises us.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Sooo glad for a happy ending. Just a reminder for all parents. Doesn't matter if you clip or not... they can all fly away. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
