Hello!
I have a 17 week old YNA. He is currently fully flighted. I have never clipped his wings. I am just wondering how others have made the decision to clip versus leave flighted, and which is best?
I have 2 young children and we do bring our bird with us a bunch when we go out. My husband did make the comment about him flying outside if one of our kiddos leaves a door open (which made me a bit nervous). He does have an aviator harness we plan on getting him used to in order to go outside when we do bring him (any tips, because even with the video the harness comes with, putting it on is SO confusing)...
I *do* also have cats and other animals as well though and I like the idea of him being able to fly (just in case) something ever were to happen. We do keep everyone separate and are OCD about making sure none of the cats make their way into the areas he is in - but - kids.
Just curious what everyone else's preference is? I feel like in some ways it may be easier to work with him if he is clipped so he's not flying all over the house - but just not sure. Would love others insight here.
