Thanks sharon.....xxxx

Beau is a very happy bird...if you read the thread she doesnt live in a cage...she has a big avairy in my living room......

i think that should be fine as long as you let him out for at least a couple of hours a day, they are so active & very intelligent but can get aggressive if they dont get the stimulation they need, i love them they look great in flight.

I'm sure she will be very happy if she is out with you most of the time . They are amazing little birds! Hopefully her flight feathers will grow out quickly too.

Don't forget its food freebie season too! Kakariki's love Firethorne berries, also know as Pyracantha. Just watch out for the thornes when picking the berries

mmmm you have not read the thread.....Beau is out of her cage most of the day....plus she can not fly as she has had her wings clipped...

oh thats great then i just scanned the thread, i hate it when they clip their wings imo its just cruel

We have to watch her all the time as she keeps trying to fly..........do you know roughly how long it will take for them to grow back please?...we have had her 3 maybe 4 weeks...and they have not grown at all....plus im not sure when her previous owner actually clipped them? any help would be gatefully received.....

ive never hada bird with clipped wings so im not exactly sure but i it could be a couple of months i think, i'll try & find out from my friend hes the expert in birds.

Thank you ...xx

For a smaller bird to do a full moult can take a good 6 months, you will slowly find clipped feathers, once they are shed a new one will grow in its place.

The only way to speed this up is the pluck the cliped feathers out and then the new ones will start to grow through

My cockatoos take a year to do a full moult
