I have a friend overseas who has a question about his parakeets. I'll post
it here. Anyone who can give advice is very welcome. Thanks.
My male ring necked parakeet, Sid by name, has been with me since January.
He came with his wings clipped and as far as I know was a juvenile. His
feathers have now grown back completely but he displays not the slightest
inclination to fly. He does not even bother to do a bit of flapping now
and
then. Seems happy enough, eats his food, plays around, friendly...but no
flying. His mate Nancy (unclipped) flies around and sometimes looks at Sid
a
bit puzzled.
So my question is...if Sid was clipped as a very young bird he may never
have 'learned' to fly. Is this possible...and if so is he ever likely to
learn?
