We took Ringo to the vet to have his wings clipped, we did tell him that the pet shop we bought him from had apparently clipped his left wing but he could still fly, the vet said they had only clipped 2 of his primary feathers on one wing!!!!! and not even aswell !!!! now i wonder if he is really eleven months old now (8 when we bought him/her) i do go to them for advice (and because they still have Ringo's brother/sister) but now i shall not bother. I have uploaded pic can anybody help if possible....
Not sure if i have done this right...

Grrr

You should NEVER cut one wing. What is with people.

Im glad you got him all straightened out... literally.

If you need to know kind of what your baby should look like after being clipped, look at this post. There's some pictures at the top, then scroll down a little and it has a reference picture or two.
