Hello everybody,
i don;t have a bird yet, but he will be ready in acouple of weeks. i can't wait .i am doing a lot of research about parrotlets and my concern about
All Pet Parrotlets should have their wings trimmed. Your Parrotlet will be sweeter and far safer.Is it really true?
I used to have parrokeets before. I didn't even know what was a parrotlet about 2 month ago. and i love everything what i read.
any practical advise. what size of cage, what is the best food. i want to start train him from the start.
thanks

Hi Katecher,
Here is a site that has some info
http://cholla.mmto.org/parrots/care/clipping.html
I had a friend who had two parrotlets that she let fly around the house. She took precautions and they were fine. My birds could not figure out the glass doors and crashed into them several times. We clip now and there are less window crashes but Bean is a very clumsy flier/faller. He will crash into the ottoman. For us it is safer to be clipped.
Here are some more random links with info:
