  • @KayteeVideos I Have Two Budgies They Need To Be Trained I Think They Are 6 Months How Long Does It Take For Their Feathers To Grow Back

  • @cudi117 The feathers will regrow in several months the next time it molts.

  • how long would it take the feather to regrow?

  • @TheJamaikanmonkey Feather regrowth will depend on the type of bird. What type of bird do you have?

  • I would talk to your local vet. You may had cut the feathers when they were too young.

  • can i go to a petshop instead of a vet ? (please answer)

  • @emo6167 It would be best to see a vet but if you feel your local pet store is educated enough to help you with this then this might be an option.

  • @SimBeeful- Sorry, but I dissagree. To me, clipping is wrong. Why would you stop a bird from doing what it is supposed to do ...fly?? The feathers take upto 14 months to grow back & yes birds can get depressed and can pluck their feathers in pure frustration and depression. I've witnessed this for myself. You have obviously been lucky with your birds but I have seen birds birds peck themselves until they bled through depression. Not something I am prepared to risk. Good luck to you though.

  • @KayteeVideos This is real cruelty to animals in my opinion. If you don't want your pet to fly away then better keep mice, cats etc.

  • Excellent video. Its nice to hear someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Kudos

  • There is nothing wrong with clipping ur birds wings since it doesnt even hurt ! If you have a parrot its okay

  • @cudi117 don't clip the feathers, flight is a beautiful feature, and it is easy to train your bird without clipping it's wings.

    Also if you take away their flight you will never be able to teach them how to flight recall.

    don't clip.

  • @Pookspoons Do you own a parrot? I wasn't sure about clipping until I got a parrot that was a little escape artist. She ended up trying to take a bath in the toilet and I was lucky I was home and got her out before she drowned! I was also afraid she'd hit a ceiling fan, fly into a window, get into something she shouldn't when I wasn't around, crash into a mirror or window, escape out the door when my 7 year old was holding it open way too long...maybe

  • I wonder how many of the people crying over not clipping wings actually owns a bird....

    Guys, it grows back and they can still fly short distances. This is done for their own safety, otherwise it might fly into a ceiling fan, a bunch of electrics or maybe straight into a window - breaking it's neck.

  • @emo6167 Hey! My baby bird is getting their wings clipped tomorrow, i begged my father not to, but he's getting thewings clipped at petco clipping is wrong!

  • Dont put this crap on youtube

  • the bird is born for flying not for thease !!!
