After over a year of waiting, Jasper is finally molting and losing those horrible clipped feathers!!! He only has a couple of clipped feathers left on each wing. I think 3 primaries on each side are fully grown in and there are a couple more feathers growing right now. He has definitely been getting more glide and not falling to the ground in a crash. I think he realizes this and has been practicing by launching himself off things randomly and flying as far as he can. But there's so little control! I don't want to encourage him too much until he is fully flighted so that he doesn't get discouraged. Is there anything I can do to prepare him for full flight?
I am SO excited for my little grey to finally be able to fly! It's so sad watching him flap whenever Maya is flying past him.
