I'm not asking if I should or should not clip. I *think* that I have already decided to not clip my new birdie. I just bought a beautiful Rose Breasted Cockatoo and the breeder has him flying around freely right now. It is so beautiful! However, I have always owned clipped birds. What precautions should I take bringing home an unclipped bird? What other things should I think about?.... do I need to buy a leash? are they safe?
Also, what should I be super concerned about if I decided to let my bird fly outside with a leash?
I am so worried! But this is so beautiful:
The breeder sent me this picture. But it was really amazing to see all of the babies flying around last night when I went to pick out Mickey/Apollo.
