Our new little lovie got clipped tonight! Another chasing game and he gets VERY scared and freaks out! He even bit this time.....I'm sure it was out of pure fear! Poor little guy.....it's so much work trying to get him and then towel him and he even got away once! All done now though, and no more chasing games like this......I clipped five flights on each wing.....I'm sure he'll still have some flight, but at least now when I let him out, I know I'll be able to get him back in easier and he won't be flying up to the ceiling fan and curtain rods! I'm so glad that we got that out of the way! Now just some time to get him used to us and not so scared of us. I already notice because I've been spending time with him, that he is less scared of me.....when my boyfriend comes in the room, I see an immediate change.....he gets scared! so I can already see the improvement in him with me......now with the wing clip, hopefully things will move along more smoothly now!!
Still needing a name though! Here are a few I have picked out of a list online.....some P names and a few others......Bernie, Howie, Chip, Scooter, Percy, Kiwi, Peanut, Peeps,Poncho
I still have to look through some more names......this was only from one night I spent looking.

Wise move with the wing clip. As you know, it's so hard to build a relationship with a wild birdy when you have to chase it and grab it to get it back to his/her cage:x. I'm sure things will move much quicker now that he's clipped. I don't know how you feel about stick training but this has been a handy tool for me over the years with birds who don't like hands.

My :2cents: on names is either Chip or Scooter. I think either of those fit that cute little face!

Definitely a good move with the wing clip - I think that will make a huge difference if it hasnt already. As far as the names go - Clive or Skeeter, LOL - something unique would be perfect for the little guy!!:blush:

I have been MIA and didn't realize you got that little guy! Congrats! I look forward to continuing on and reading my unread threads and hearing more.

I agree on the wing clip.
