glad you were able to put him back safely

Whew how scary! Glad all is ok. maybe this is a step in the right direction if he came to you. You might want to try to train them to a stick or t-stand. Offer millet to entice them to the stick. Then as they step on & touch the millet give a cue or you can use a clicker. It takes patience.

Perhaps once they are both flighted, it'll be a lot easier for you and them

Yeah maybe I should no longer clip their wings. You see when I first got them home and I was putting them in their cage...Little Gee, my little escape artist, escaped and was flying into everything. I mean, he was on the ceiling fan, trying to fly into the window, even though I had the curtain closed. This was probably because he was in a new environment, but I was told that clipping their wings would be the best option. ...Now that he is no longer as scared maybe I should not have his wings clipped, so that he can fly around rather than hopping around on the ground lol I mean he can still kind of fly, but not even half as high and he still has many crash landings even though I had the vet clip his wings lol....the funny thing is that my other bird Popeye had his wings clipped and for some reason he can still fly just as high as before....
