My bird's wings were clipped at the pet shop earlier this week when I got him. Before I let him out for the first time, I made sure he was trained with 'step up.' That was today. I got him out of the cage and..surprise, he flew around the room. He was panting and I think nervous, but since I had him trained luckily, I was able to safely get him back into his cage after a few minutes. Now why is he still able to fly? I clipped his wings for a reason! (At least until he is a little more trained, and then I will probably let them grow back.) I don't want him out flying around! He wasn't just gliding, he was able to get to the fan on the ceiling...which means he got lift. And I watched the pet shop guy clip his wings so I know that was done. Did he not do enough maybe? Or can some still fly after? And is there a way to cut them more and make sure he can't fly?
