I let my IRN out of the cage for the first time yesterday and all went well, although he stayed on top of his cage the entire time.
Today I did the same but he seemed more confident and took flight, so I'm pretty sure he isn't clipped now.
Long story short he flew into a number of things including a t.v screen, shortly after he flew a short distance and landed on the floor with his wings spread out, it was at this point a family member decided to grab him lightly to prevent any chance of him injuring himself.
He seemed pretty shocked by the entire ordeal and kept closing his eyes for a couple of minutes which worried us a little but he seems like he is back to normal now and is eating from my hand again.
What did I do wrong, is there anyway I can prevent this in the future?
One of the things he did fly into was a t.v screen which I guess he thought resembled a mirror but he was flying into opaque objects too.
