So my lovie is growing his wings out to be flighted and everything seems to go so wrong. One, I have to move him into my bedroom, where I keep my guinea pigs, and just yesterday when I had him on my shoulder he got frightened and fel and broke one of his new wing feathers :/ It looks like it's back in place now from his own grooming, but it was sticking straight out yesterday and I am just so sad. I know it looks fine, but it's definately broken and he won't be able to use it in flight.
I really really want him flighted but it'll just take longer now, and now I don't know what to do about the housing situation. He was going to free fly in a room we have, but now that he can't be there anymore, and has to be with my guinea pigs he won't be able to fly in there, which will be hard to keep him from doing. The cage the guinea pigs are in doesn't have a lid, it's quite huge, about 6 ft by 3 ft, and he can easily get in the sides or top, so I can't let him fly in there... but I can't keep him from doing it without locking him in his cage 24/7.. Now I may have to keep him clipped until I can find something I am so so upset, I really want him to be able to fly. HELP!
