Well spotted Ann-Louise. This picture was taken in a sanctuary where the birds live in an open space and can fly freely once the wings are fully grown. Only one of the 3 birds is was clipped. The other two are not. I have corrected the caption of the image. It was used by the National Geographic reporting on the disappearance of African Grey Parrots, so we had to use the same image as they did but their caption was wrong. Regards, Anguel
How can they be wild birds if their wings are clipped? Really?
