Ask them if he appears to fly a little lopsided. If that were to be the case, then they'd want to hold him cradled in lap and take each wing (folded is fine) in turn and rotate it upwards over the back to compare the relative ease of movement. If one doesn't seem to have the freedom of the other, then there is a history of trauma or arthritis.

Linda said
"I did the wing thing/test earlier and he "appears" normal. - all I know is he can't OR won't fly far, just short bursts." She said he doesn't fly far enough to see if it's lopsided. She said he did fly up to the top of the patio and then the roof one time but has never done it again. She's concerned her cats might get to him if she let him out more. Any ideas for us?

Don't suppose she can take a video of the bird with her camera while he's trying to fly? Of course, he's not TRYING to fly so she'd have to give him a toss over a bed or something like that.
