At what age do you clipa grey's wings?

Do I wait until the bird flies into something and knocks itself out? LOL. What is the right age. Thank you Bridget

Bridget. If your bird is throwing up you have bigger issues right now.

bridget i agree with lisa. you need to get your amazon to a vet without delay if he is throwing up.

he needs to learn to fly properly and build up his wing muscles now otherwise he may never fly. its a bad idea to get a birds wings clipped in his first year of life.
i have 4 parrots, all fully flighted and none have ever even slightly hurt themselves flying. my baby grey hit the ceiling on his first day but instinctively then knew how high it was. as long as you cover bare glass windows so he doesnt fly into them bot knowing they are there he will be fine.

Thank you so much. I know everyone of you think I am stupid. But ignorant is the word. Because ignorant means not to know something. You are an Amazon first time owner once. Maybe someday I can give advice as you guys do. Thank you for everything one and all. Bridget

no one thinks you're stupid bridget,you're still learning and so are we,we never stop learning

bridget, we only know the answers because someone told us, the same as we are now telling you.
theres nothing stupid about not knowing, its only stupid if you are too stubborn to ask advice, or too proud to accept it which you arent.
we do sometimes jump in unasked with comments too if we see you doing something not good or not safefor your parrot .
