flap your wings 

To flail one's arms and body around in a vain attempt to prevent an object from falling; to english an object.
The older you get the clumsier you get and the more you'll find you'll have to flap your wings.

flap your own wings 

(verb to): live independently from one's parents
son: mom, make yourself useful and clean my room.

mother: no. Now, doff me a hat, and, if you don't' like the rules in this house, you can, for a change, try and flap your own wings with your girlfriend. That'll teach you to be more independent.
