[QUOTE="bitterntwisted, post: 1361223, member: 46297"] From the above site: [INDENT][I][B]Do you clip the birds’ wings? [/B]The majority of birds at Living Coasts do not have clipped wings and are free to fly anywhere they like, but most choose to stay in their preferred habitat zone. Some of the waterfowl were pinioned (the tip of one wing was snipped off just after hatching) before they came here.[/I] [/INDENT] But don't worry folks, they won't fly off and confuse all us birders because... [INDENT][I]Going out to sea is about food, and as food is provided there is no need for them to go great distances to forage. There is no evidence for wanderlust – the theory that birds desire to fly long distances. Sea birds neither recognise nor pine for the oceans. [/I] [/INDENT]Graham [/QUOTE]
