    Questions about Uneven Wing Clip

    I just brought home an adopted TAG with a TERRIBLE wing clip- someone removed all of the primaries on his right wing. The left one is intact, although the primaries have a sort of 'patchy' look along the leading edges- not sure what that's about. Does this clip pose a safety risk? Is there...

    Poor Kamara!

    My poor little Mars Bar. When Kamara was picked up by peace officers and brought to the Humane Society, she was immediately clipped.

    Bad wing clipping

    so my budgie seems to have had a bad wing clipping .... all the feathers are clipped on both wings, except they left the long primary feathers on her left wing. Is this okay for now, or should I take her back... I’m skeptical about taking her back because she has been to and from the vet the...
