French frogs

Care to make it 45?

That's your problem child... you took him under your wing... deal with it...

   You could make another duck or two with all those feathers!  

Regular sized, yup... Call sized, a few at least... I'm ok... it was hard to start, but already feel relieved...

Was a little off on my count... there's 44 pairs of primaries... all children are grounded...

You could make a wreath with them. They should all point the same way if you did the same side on all of them.
It would be ducky.

I am sorry you had to go through that, and I hope your girl pulls through.

Is that something you do as a practice, or is that after yesterday's incident?

I was wondering what kind of art project could be done, a wreath would be beautiful!

She could make a scarf for my brother

So do you trim both sides? I've always just cut off one wing, so the thrust was off balance when they flapped their wings. 

I always do both sides... if a predator goes after them, one side will make their escape pattern predictable... I'd rather they didn't circle around right into an open mouth...

that's allot of feathers, no doubt.......lot of work too......I know it takes a while to go thru that many birds, catching and clipping....

Once they knew what I was doing, it got interesting... and found out the enclosure pool needs to be cleaned...

Thanks... as I told frmboy though, I do both sides...

Both... I clipped my adult breeders I brought in, my older ones stay above our yard when they take short flights... the kids I try to let them learn to fly before clipping... earlier groups learned the boundaries well so I didn't... this last bunch is a bit more hot headed though...

Quote: Or just did not understand the 'point' of doing it. But it does not mean it was pointless, but that I somehow missed the point.

So I laugh at the little monkey who got blown away by his own 'wiffyness' it does not mean I get pointless.
Besides. That poor little chimp was just funny.
Maybe I am too dense for the higher forms of humor.

Bert doesn't have a 'higher' sense of humor...

That makes sense. I've done it with my chickens to try to keep them in the yard. But I haven't done it for a while. It is time again.
