Hi friends. I got my Forsten Lorikeet at 9 months of age from the pet store I work at & he came clipped with know knowledge of how to fly. I made my own choice to let his wings grow and teach him to fly and he has come such a long way in such a small amount of time! He's really getting the hang of it. I have had him for nearly 6 months now.
Problem is with him and my Mexi red headed Amazon, Pi. My amazon came home flighted and flies a few circles during the day for exercise I suppose and to me when I'm not close enough to him (though he likes to hang out at his stand and not directly with me.. just same room).
As of today, and all day today specifically, he has learned that Pi is scared of him and he's been having the time of his life flying to Pi to scare my poor boy. Pi then proceeds to fly around the room and usually into something like on the desk full of items, or on the window blinds in fear of my tiny warrior.
Lorikeet is in a time out because everytime I bring him here he wants to swoop at Pi.
I really, really don't want to clip him but I even more so don't want anyone to get hurt whether it be because Pi is sick of birds crap or Pi flies into something a bit hard, or hell even my dog getting caught up in the moment and deciding to try and "help" the situation and in turn trampling my Lorikeet.
