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!
