LottyJ1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hiya, The new girls have settled in well but are so much more athletic than the ex-batts. I caught Slivia on our 6ft fence yesterday morning considering jumping down over the other side and Flo has worked out she can fly over the chicken netting I just wanted to ask if I clip there wings will it stop them being able to get up on the higher perches in the WIR? Is it possible to just clip one or two of the flight feathers so to just limit the hight they can fly without restricting them too much? I want to make sure they can still be active and use the perches in the WIR without escaping from the garden when they FR. Sorry if this is a silly question?

quickcluck Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 No silly questions on here! I always just clip one wing, that stops them scaling tall buildings, but doesn't stop them leaping onto perches at all, so i'd clip away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
