I’ve had my female cockatiel, Mufasa, for at least 4-5 years now, but she’s never flown once. When I got her, she’d just come to me from a home where she was kept in a cage with two other mean cockatiels who often attacked her. As a result, the tips of 2 of her toes are missing (she’s able to walk and grip things just fine). I’ve clipped her flight feathers only once over the entire 4-5 years I’ve had her, and she’s never had injuries while under my care. She can flap her wings just fine and will make an attempt soften her landing while falling by flapping her wings, but it doesn’t really help. While on the ground, she will attempt to fly when running from my siblings by jumping and flapping her wings, but this also doesn’t work. I’m not sure if her wings were injured before she was given to me or if she just truly cannot fly. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated
