Somebody Needs To Get His Wings Clipped

Posted on: 10/19/02, 13:52:16
What's down there? Although he got his wing feathers clipped in August, Peanut needs another trimming. His yearly physical always happens right around a molt, so he often quickly loses some of the four outer feathers on each wing that the vet trims. He still has one or two short feathers on each wing, but he has enough control now that he's playing with flying. For example, he'll be on one of the front sections of the Finsterium, and he'll fly a fast little loop in the kitchen and land back on the Finsterium. He's also getting a lot more curious. He knows that the oat groats live on the shelf below his play gym; that's what he's looking at in this photo. I really hope he doesn't try to fly down there since the big bowl of paper strips (toys) sits there, and they'd go everywhere.
