Cissy R. is concerned,<\/span><\/p>\n

Maxxi is a healthy 8yr old, female UNCLIPPED Scarlett Macaw who REFUSES TO FLY(she would rather climb down her 4ft<\/span>. Perch and WALK over to me.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know you would rather talk about smaller birds, but this seems to bother me only!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do you think she’s afraid to <\/span>fly<\/span>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks<\/span><\/p>\n

PS: I’ll be looking for your response<\/span><\/p>\n

We love talking about birds of any size Cissy \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span>My spidey sense tells me that Maxxi is not refusing to <\/span>fly<\/span> but doesn’t know how.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is true of many domesticated pet birds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fledging is when a bird’s wings are large enough for flight and at some point that gets tested.<\/span><\/p>\n
