Flight Training

Once they learn to fly, babies are given time for flight training each day until they become quite adept at the most amazing landings. They are then given a gliding wing (feather) clip so that they can be safely trained by their new human companions. The babies become much more confident and self-assured as a result of complete flight training and they generally have much better balance than babies who are clipped much  earlier. 

If you choose to keep your pets flighted in the future, they will be more competent fliers and less likely to have coordination difficulties as a result of proper flight training.
