Okay, so my IRN (Rhea) is new, I got her yesterday morning. she's almost 3 months old, parent reared, totally skittish, although she is getting more settled today than yesterday and is making (small) progress in her own way. But today, I noticed her pacing on the cage floor, so I looked it up. Most sites sat that it is a sign of boredom and that I need to let said bird out, but the problem is whoever trimmed her wings (when I adopted her she already had her wings clipped) cut them insanely short, and she doesn't have much muscle, so when she tries to jump from perch to perch, she'll sometimes fall flat on the ground, she doesn't 'glide' down like a normal bird would. so I'm afraid that if I let her out, one, she'll try to fly off the cage and fall and hurt herself, or two, I won't be able to get her back in.
Opinions? What should I do?
