Well said. Scarlett is left fully-flighted, but she clips her own wings, so we do not clip. I don't feel the need to add to the trauma of clipping her wings when she does such a good job of it herself.
One day she'll leave those pretty feathers alone.
Our birds (my one and my mothers' small flock) are clipped on an individual basis. All are harnessed when outside, even when clipped. My mother currently has one clipped bird. He's attracted to windows and bright lights like a moth to flame. . .and many accidents have happened because of this. The others just fly from here to there, but they really rather be chauffeured than fly.
I am very sorry for your loss. We are keepign you in our thoughts.
