I'm not sure if anyone remembers me, but I had what I have since discovered is an all too common problem of having a bird that couldn't fly/steer/land and had kept him clipped for fear of having him injure himself.
Well, it's been many months of practice and patience and moulting and preening, but we have success! Coco is officially a flyer! He now flies laps around the living room with his partner , Athena. I would have never thought it was possible. Although I am not a very active member here(I tend to post in spurts and then disappear for a bit), my birds and I have benefited greatly from the information and links I found at this forum. A big thank you to those who run this place and contribute here. I have two fully flighted birds!
Here he is!
Check out those feathers! None missing!
