So yesterday Memphis (I know I changed his name but this time its official..) had his 1st blood panels, dna etc done at the avian vet.
..I asked if they could trim his nails and if they thought his wings were too long they could trim them.
Hes been able to fly from the ground. And fly around with no problems.I know the whole wing thing is a touchy subject and I understand that..
Anyway,, because of covid you're not allowed inside while they tend to your birds so I didn't see what they were doing.
After getting home (it was an hour and a half drive) I realized they really cut his wings where he keeps falling off things (I think because his nails are shorter and he cant grasp as well) and he can't fly back up like he used to.
Now I see him walking and all I see is a little guy with his arms ttied behind his back..I feel so guilty, and he doesn't understand what happened im sure. I might feel differently later but I don't think I want to ever have his wings clipped again..he just wanted to cuddle and be consoled the rest of the day yesterday
