Question
Heyy
how ru, i have a 1 month old indain ring parrot and i got it when it was 3 weeks (I hand fed it), the person i bought it form clipped its wings befor giving it to me i was just wondering when will its wings grow back, i have notice each day it trys to flys the length of his filght growss

Answer
Raffay,

Your Indian Ringneck had to be older than 3 weeks when you got it if the wings were clipped, because the wing feathers aren't fully grown in at 3 weeks.

So, assuming it WAS 3 weeks, they didn't clip the wings, and your bird has its full flight feathers.

Cindy
