    Yes, that is the case. I think their wings can be clipped to reduce their ability to fly. In my first house in the states, my neighbor had some. They roosted in the tall Eucalyptus trees every night and did not seem to roam around the neighborhood. It may be that they will need to have their wings clipped. The Mango trees are not as tall as Eucalyptus trees, so they will not have to fly as far for perching at night. . If they fly around the neighborhood the whole neighborhood may be infested with "WakWaks" and the kids will not be able to go out an night. :o o:

    Shawn, I moved before I found them. I was going to use them as "watch dogs" primarily. They will roast in trees, and "screech" crazy when anyone comes around at night. If I can can convince the neighbors they are Wak Waks, I would be save. LOL
