I had just bought another parakeet for my son from a pet store. Unfortunately, his wings were clipped and he can't fly around like the other parakeet we have. He tries, but instead of flying up he flys down. I feel sorry for him. He wants to be like the other bird. I just wanted to know how long it will be like this. I want him to be able to explore my house as the other bird does.

It will take a few months for the wings to come back. Soon he will be able to enjoy everything in your house.

I have had the same problem before. I also feel sorry for the bird cuz I find it cruel they cut their wings nd then they cant fly. Nonetheless, it will take at least three months for them to grow back. HOwever, let him out to fly every day. Why? Simply because he will gain strength in his wings and when his feathers start growing back, the sooner he will be able to fly like yur other bird

Ok, first, the bird doesnt need to moult for its feathers to grow back if they are clipped. I have mine clipped, and we have to take them back every month, to month and a half. They grow back quickly. If left un clipped, they should grow back in a few months. Secondly, clipping a birds wings is not a substitute for safety precautions. If your birds wings are clipped, they will learn to glide to get from place to place, and can still get into things, and or get hurt. You cant plan on your bird getting into lotions, so you need to saftey proof your house anyway. Go ahead and let them grow if you want to, just make sure that you watch them.

Letting the birds fly around your house is a big risk. I have heard of peoples bird chewing on electrical wires and getting hurt. They can also get stuck in between places. But to answer your question...It takes a while for them to grow it back.

he really needs to moult to grow the new feathers . So it may be several months .
If the wings were clipped correctly he should be able to safely fly down to the floor but wont be able to get back up except for very short distances.

hi, This poultry isn't experienced yet, you do no longer want them to develop lower back. whilst they do clip them lower back. try this until the poultry is tame. until of direction you do no longer want to play with the poultry?
