Answer
Hi, Terry.  Thanks for posting!

I have no idea why your 5-month old parrots are unable to fly and haven't grown any tail feathers.  I've never run across this in my experiences and have never read anything related.  What type of parrots are these?  Do they have feathers on their wings?What type of diet are they on?  Have you consulted with an avian veterinarian on this?  I need more details about this situation in order to try to help further.
