So I got koki while her wings were clipped. I am just wondering how long would it take for them to grow back so I can allow her to have some flying?

Depending on when Koki moults. It is a watch and wait situation, when the feathers on the wings fall and they will be replaced by new growth.

My guys get done 4 times a year, roughly every 90 days. My Scarlett just got done 45 days ago and she is there already! My Too's are not ready, Grey is ready....I opt with every 90 days I get them done, the ones that get done. I have a mobile service that comes to my home and if she see's one is not ready she will skip over them. Periodically check them. :)

:)You are saying your birds wing feathers grow in from clipped, every three to four months?

It can take a year or more. All Depends on many factors.

Some, yes. That is why I keep her on a 90 day schedule. If wings do not need to be done she will do toes. My TAG was done 45 days ago and she is now fully flighted and Ozzy is also. Farfey is not. When Wilma flew off with clipped wings it woke me up to keep a close eye on all of them because as different as their personalities are so are their wings. :)

I am letting Bella and Peg become fully flighted. Buttons, not yet. Ozzy, ALWAYS clipped. Farfey, it all depends on her, she butchers her wings.
