Does anyone know the costs of feather imping? and how you would locate someone who does it locally? If I can afford it I am considering if for our B&G Sara as she was clipped before coming to us. She is very young and I just think it would be healthier if she was able to fly. Plus despite an extreme clip she still gets som life and gets around the room. So she is determined and I think having Ruby flighted and Buka almost flighted is a bit frustrating for her.

I think talking with your Avian vet to see what he knows about it and who you might contact in your area...
A vet who deals with raptors is the best bet to find out this information.:hug8:

A member on another forum had it done to one of her conures. I think it was very successful. Her avian vet did it for her- they are in Australia. I've never known anyone else who had it done to a parrot.

No, I do not but I believe he is in Brisbane. I will see if I can find her email address and send it to you. She is not a member here.

Is there any chance you can find out what it cost her?
