, it's better to wait till you feel comfortable with it. I know, I used to be nervous at first. But it's almost second nature to me now.

I clip em, they fly into walls if i dont, it makes me nervous.

heath i like your new i con!

Me too heather.
Coco is the first bird i have owned that I ever clipped( the petstore did it) I feltso bad I almost cried right there. I think if she has a molt and they come backi wil leave them she is trained pretty good she won't fly to me when i call her but she is okay with finger and hands.

i missed the vet tech thing earlier, but to give a first hand answer, the amount of money depends on where you work. Relief techs (part time fill in help) in Maine can make up to 18 an hour. The "Head Tech" job at my office makes $20/hr. it seems emergency and specialty work techs make more money.

cool

i prefer clipped too but like the other owner said it's way too cold for taking the trip to get them clipped...

yea, its freezing here in skokie! omg my mom always ALWAYS makes me walk, i could have a psrianed ankle and she would make me walk but today she is coming home from work and driving me, she is a teacher at niles north

Today it is 22 degrees F in NC!!!! That is cold for us!!!!! I am happy though that it has snowed like 2 times this winter.

When I left for class today at non it was 9 degrees with a -2 wind chill, when I woke up it was 6 degrees with a -11 wind chill. Now it's 14 with a -1 windchill. And I live in Baltimore... its not even like I'm in maine...

I think I'll have some soup...
