hey cookies flight feathers have grown back he has been flying into everything i am getting his wings clipped because i dont want him to fly into the fan or rat traps would it be a good idea to get a flight suit so he can have his little flies without flying into anything that could hurt him?

A flight suit will not prevent him from flying into windows or fans. If the bird has not been trained to wear one when he was young I don't think he will let you put it on him now without a fight. Wing clipping and then a flight suit is defeating your purpose is it not?

I agree with Donna. They arent huge fans of flight suits unless you get them used to it from a baby. You might find Cookie will learn to better his 'landings' in time. For now, I'd clip and keep an eye out for danger like the fans, traps..

I say clip. I am always clipping from now on I learned my lesson the hard way when Maya flew out the door. I still look up in the tree tops for her. I wouldn't take any chances.

thanks he had his wings clipped today and it didnt bother him, but my gosh do they freak you out when they up and fly. thanks for the advice wasnt to sure about the flight suits. got both of his wings clipped so if he does fly he can land because when i got him only one was clipped and he couldnt land at all
