I just adopted a 2yr old Sun. We are working with Echo's behavior as I don't think he was handled often, if at all. His wings are not clipped and I am wondering if we should take him now, while we are just begining to gain his trust or should we wait? Any advise would be appreciated!
Thanks! Kara and Echo
