suki is my yellow sided green cheeked conurewho is a little cheeky mennis !,thought i would get a few pics while they were both out playing tonight.they get on ok tolerate each other suki just wants a playmate but pumpkin isnt to sure

Pretty birds! Green-Cheeks are fab little characters.

I notice Suki is wing-clipped. How old is she?

From a cosmetic point of view I always leave the outer feather or two which gives the illusion of no clip .

From a practical point of view, often the smaller species don't really need it, and often can fly almost as well afterwards anyway!

Lovely birds by the way!

Why wing-clip a bird, especially a hand-reared one?

They are 2 gorgeous birdys. Especially the tiel but i do have a soft spot for them, though mine is going through what i like to call "a pain in the butt phase" lol

I wasn't attacking you hun, I was asking Suki's age as I didn't think she was an adult yet. If I had my way, wing-clipping would be made illegal, just like tail docking.

They are brill! My Sun Conure, Jaffa is such a sweetie! Noisy but sweet & if anything scares him or he is unsure of something, he will fly to my shoulder, bless him.
