Hello All,
I a lot of the Echos I participate in I start a reviting and thought full 
topic.  In the Parrot world there are few things to talk about.  I have been
thinking about this and all I can come up with are Clipping, Leg Chains.  I
am disaponted with my self at this.  I am used to creating long threads.
So here we go,
                        WHY I THINK CLIPPING IS GOOD.
I think that clipping your bird is an essintial part of a pet-owner 
relationship (or as we parrot gurus say a child-parent relation ship)
cliipping alows a parrot who may stay in his cage because of the pain of 
retreving him from the curtian or top of the friedge to see wonders such as
television or a sparrow fling in the air.  Some spite the lack of exersize
as a reason not to clip.  I have read of a simple way to exersize your cliped
birds.  Have your bird perched on your hand or arm.  Drop your arm just 
enough to have your bird flap but not fly off.  Do this for about 30 sec.  
Walla you have succesfully exersized your bird.
Thats why I belive in clipping.
