Thanks for the warning - I know these little guys are very curious and skittish, so having them able to fly around can be an issue.

I haven't decided whether to keep Magoo's wings clipped or not. I was just worried that they may have been improperly clipped the first time and won't grow back properly.

There's one blue feather that seems to have grown so that it pokes out from under his dark green feathers. But it is twisted and ragged on its tip, and no other flight feathers are growing.

Magoo seems to be preening normally and isn't 'barbering' as far as I can tell.

Anyway, I'll be taking him to the vet for his check-up soon, so I might get an answer then.

Cheers!
