What the Clip?!

                  Okay, y'all. Does everyone here know what it means to clip a bird? It's not torture, or anything that would be HALF as horrible as it sounds. It means lightly trimming the edge of the bird's feathers on a wing, so that they can only fly super-short distances before they fall. Which might even save their life, because if a baby bird (Hermes) flew away, he could get attacked by bigger birds or cats. They don't even feel it. Also, they grow back! It's NOT permanent. I was discussing with my... advisor (My dad) whether or not we should clip him. And we decided on not clipping him yet, because since he's only a baby it would affect the way he learned to fly. So to the left side of the site, I have a poll. Check in when you think he would be 'adult' enough to get clipped. Thx!

First-Ever Post

Hello everyone, and welcome to The Life and Time of Hermes The Great! Hermes is my white albino dove (Gender currently unknown)... well, you can read about it in the "About Me". It's not about me, Hermes' trainer/owner, It's about Hermes. It's just got my name. I really haven't gotten anything important to say here, It was really just a test. So without further commotion...
