Thanks!
Fledglings are my favorite. I love watching them figure out that they can fly and their little faces when they take off the first time are so funny. Baby 3 is a bit porky so it has taken her more time to learn, she is going to be a muscular, thick little bird.
I just had the camera on auto, its my GE camera.
Serafina will keep her wings unless she gets into that bratty "let me do it myself" stage. Then she will get a little clip...Hate to do it but I know her mom and dad both get to be very standoffish after a while of having wings.
I will clip Delila and B3 before they leave, I am not giving the new families a choice. Too many accident could happen in a new home to risk it. Also since they are new bird owners I would hate to get a call that they snuck out the door that was accidently left open just a hair.

It's great to show our birds in flight because most "everyday" bird owners don't see it that often as most keep there birds wings clipped. Many don't realize that with some safety precautions in place having flighted birds is possible. Plus it gives them confidence, encourages limited freedom, helps with muscle developement. I encourage everyone to share pics of their birds in flight with others on other boards and to educate them on safety measures needed to keep flighted birds, as well as the benefits of their birds being flighted
