Emrys, one of my linnies, was very timid for a good year and a half, even while Caspar went through his awful puberty. Then once his flight feathers came back in (came to me clipped) and he started to fly it seemed like very suddenly he became very outgoing. He's such a different bird than he was for that time he was unflighted. So yeah, just happens! Sometimes the other way too, though. I had to grab Aoife and get her back in her cage because she was being super stubborn and I was going to be late to work and I really really didn't want to, but she was mad at me for a good week. I damaged her trust. I felt so bad, I still do! So now I have to plan better if I have to be somewhere.
