I know it's been a long time since I've posted, but I did find an 'Animal Hospital' that would clip flight feathers for $10. each. I just wanted the 3 babies done to tame them. We have one in town that a lot of people are just not happy with them any more, and me! The pet store went out of business that would do it, and all the pet stores aren't allowed to do it any more like Pet-Smart etc. that are closer. I would have done them myself, but I needed help to hold them, and it's been years since I've done it.
OK, Kerry, don't laugh! But, We walked in the back door because it was an old farm house and didn't know where the front door was and waiting room was. Kind of confusing, 3 drive-ways and parking places. I was ready to leave, but were met by the nicest people who said it was a common mistake. As we sat in the waiting room I looked at a very large bulletin board of pictures. Dogs-cats-birds-rabbits-etc. and
horse's and 'Bessey the cow '
I checked out how clean the office room was and the examing room was before I let them touch my birds, but they were very clean.
The vets were very good with them, asking what kind of clip and anything else I wanted done. I said I wanted only a clip so they can still glide to the floor. They said if they still flew when we got home, bring them back and they will clip 1 or 2 more at no charge.
All this for $10 a bird and alls fine. Worth the 20-30 min. drive.
