Erm - I live in cali, i don't have breast implants and I graduated years ago and work full time. The same goes for my friends out here. I knew more people in Fla who were still in school and had breast implants than ive ever met in Cali.

#11, calm down. o_o You do realize that almost everyone who owns a bird, even the most caring owners, clip their wings. It's normal. It probably is kinda cruel, but calm down, you've never heard of this before? o.o

It's probably for the best since the bird was pretty damn retarded as to not figure out the large fast moving whirling thing was dangerous. It's not like the ceiling fan chased it around. Hurray Darwinism!

I've had about 15 parrots in my life, had all kinds of them, wing clipped or not, but i'm still not sure about whether to clip their wing or not. some birds are just better off clipped, some are not, and i even had this one green cheek conure who decided to fly even after her wing was clipped. she eventually picked up and grew so much muscle (i'm assuming) she could fly like a normal one. I stopped clipping her wings because she couldn't control her flight and it got dangerous. but yes you do clip their wings for their sake, not yours.

aww the poor bird. and your children.

I've had probably 13 birds in my life, parakeets, lovebirds, cockatiels, homing pigeons, and a green cheek conure, I also work in avian care and sales. Birds are much different from puppies or kittens, unless they've been hand raised with human care from birth, they're instincts aren't to trust humans but instead to stay as far away from you as possible. Remember, right before your parakeet got to your home, he was "captured" in his home and put into a dark box and taken on a car ride. The equivalent for humans is to be kidnapped, blindfolded, stuffed in a trunk, and shoved into the space shuttle. You will want to leave your frightened new friend in an area of the house in which there are no drafts, and no direct sunlight (they can easily overheat in direct sunlight since they can't "escape" their cage to get into shade. Cover three faces of his cage at night with a blanket, to prevent those nighttime drafts if someone forgets to close a window, and to allow him a pocket of warmer air. Don't attempt to handle or "poke" at his cage for a few days until he acclimates to the new environment. Overtime, he will be conditioned to understand that you bring food, water, and soon, company for him (you're part of his flock). When i acclimate my new birds, I like to keep them in an area where I pass through a lot, but don't come too close to the cage, like on an end table next to the couch in the living room. Also birds wouldn't be a good idea if you have dogs, one stern bark from your dog, no matter how well tamed, could kill your bird (i believe a heart attack), I have seen this happen at a friends place, and you do not want to see this yourself. These are just general tips, not all may be true for you, but they're true for me, there's still much more for you to learn about, call your nearest avian specialists, they'll be more than glad to help you ensure your bird lives happily and well with you. Best
