The past few times I've visited Neytiri she has been beating her wings pretty hard getting lift as you feel her get lighter when holding her. Yesterday she scooted across the floor like a hovercraft. It was pretty silly. A little later she did it. She took her first flight. she went from the floor across the room to an upper cage and grabbed on the side. I was in awe. I was so proud I wanted to cry. Unfortunately it means she's going to be in her cage more at the shop for her safety but I'm going to bring her flight suit and work with her on that sh she can be out in that. And not have to worry about her getting out the door.

On a sad note though I found out the other baby grey that came in with mine died recently due to aspiration while feeding.

Have a greyt day!

Awww. That's sad. I was wondering about flight suits myself. Is it hard to get them to wear one? I don't really think I will clip my babies wings and was wondering if it was difficult to get them to wear a flight suit. Any thoughts?

Yay Neytiri! (I LOVE her name!) Yes, it's a good idea to work with a flight suit early...
Rest In Peace baby grey.

I have a flight suite for my TAG . It's not hard to get it on him but when it's on he chews on the back of it until we get outside then he settles down a bit .
His wings are clipped now but he can still fly through the house a good 30 or 40 feet . I like for them to be able to fly but and I am afraid he is going to hurt his wings and / or break a blood feather going through a door way, or something by flying through the house like that . So I think I am going to have to get them clipped again : (

I will let you know hoe the flight suit works out. Haven't tried it yet but I will be this week.
