We had him clipped for the first 4 months but that created difficulties (could still sort of fly and then got stuck up high and also he didnt seem happy and had so much energy all the time). When we got him the owners didnt know how old he was but he has always been clipped. So after 4 months with him and he had settled into our family I decided it was time for his feathers to grow in. First we trained him to fly inside using "fly" and "come on" as command words. Then we tried him outside in the morning (in case he flew into a tree and then took us all day to get him down). He has been flying outside now for a month. I always worry that he will fly too far, but I hope this never happens. He is my baby and I have never had this attachment so close to a pet before. He is so happy now, and more well behaved indoors and that makes me happy. There is lots more I could say about his training but it would take me pages to write it all. Dear caz and Sarah
