when i bought my cockatiel he wasnt clipped and i let him out everyday as he was already hand reared but he wouldnt go back in when i had to go to school and would fly around and be panting from flying getting really stressed and both me and my mum got stressed and the only way to get him back was to put a towl over him ..

was unfair on him i thought as in the end i hated getting him out as i could never get him back and he got a bit nasty so we had him done and hes out all the time now and still gets his excercise .. maybe not flying but climbing and walking about the house and hes a much happier bird now
