Feathers are like hair. Clipping feathers is painess. The feathers grow back. Better to trim feathers than to have a bird fly away.

Ha... Guess I have to teach some idiots here a lesson in the comment section. 1. A clipped parrot can still fly enough without going too far. 2. It doesn't hurt if a parrot is being clipped carefully. (It's like clipping your toe nails) 3. The reason for them being clipped is mostly for so that they can explore freely, in more open spaces (like your house) than being in a bird cage isolated for a long time. (Ironic) 4. It's a technique used too for new pet birds getting comfortable with their environment outside the cage, without panicky flying around, possibly hitting a transparent object and stressfully hurting or killing itself at the process. 5. To put it simple, clipping a bird is like a parent being strict to their child, by giving the child limits, or else the child might do something that'll be painful or worse. If you think a parent who wants to protect their child is cruel, then I pity your parents for having you :p Anyway, I hope this comment is always on top so that some concerned people be advised, I know not all everyone agrees with this kind of thing, but if you know what you're doing, then do it as long as they can still explore freely. (I recommend going to a vet to clip a parrot's wing if you're a beginner) 6. It's not bad if the bird is still comfortable and happy.

You have put up a good argument and I can see that in some striations clipping flight feathers may be the best option. I have a rescue parrot that once had its wing broken and when I got it it couldn't fly. It will never be able to. He is as happy as the other parrots he lives with. We have lots of ladders for him to get from the floor to the cages. He struggles to mate but apart from that happy. So clipping wings doesn't mean sad birds. :0)

Why do you clip a birds wings? Its animal abuse. They fly in nature miles every day. Flying is their natural instinct, they are birds. And you don’t know if it hurts them mentally. How would you feel if a bigger creature takes away your possibility to run? You guys are disgusting. If you can’t handle a bird, don’t buy a bird. I have seven cockatiels and none of them is clipped (here in Germany it is considered animal abuse). They fly and they are tame. They come on my finger and they fly on my shoulders if they want to. They are not getting forced to do it with taking away their flying instinct. To me that is pathetic. And besides that, you said you do it because you are being strict like being strict with a child? Lol would you make your child paraplegic to protect it from harm? omg that is so dumb unbelievable! Keep your house safe and train your birds. If you can’t do that, buy a dog or a hamster instead. But stop abusing birds just because your ego is happy.

In all seriousness, good for you that you have birds that are safe when flighted. But not every bird is like yours! I personally don’t like to clip but I understand why people do and I don’t go making ppl feel guilty for keeping their bird safe. Safety should *always* come first when thinking about any pet and if it really was the safest option then I don’t judge.

I have an African grey, and I got him while he was clipped. I used that time to train him, and develop healthy habits. By the time I had done most of the training, his feathers had already grown out. Now he’s flighted, but he’s trained. So he had clipped feathers, with the intention of being flighted. So no, I don’t believe it’s a bad thing, as long as you have the right intentions :)

@@skymango4558 Well in extreme cases however not for a general common pet scenario. Understand that it takes two, up to about six weeks for smaller birds to completely regenerate flight feathers, depending on length of clip. Study was taken, and assuming the credibility of the sources, 40 days of constant flight restraint was applied to the small birds which the study was being undertaken. The outcome was a considerable appearance of developing muscle atrophy in the birds, comparing the timeline between 40 days and (midpoint from estimate regenerative time for flight feathers) four weeks, 28 days, there would be time for the birds to be back to flying and preventing complete consequence of muscle atrophy. Also take in mind that while the feathers are regenerating, they may be able to use the lengthening feathers to continue to use their muscles, flying shorter distances for example. So there isn't a complete lack of muscle usage during their times of being clipped and by the time they have their feathers clipped next. Diseases and illness are definite consequence of severe restraint and neglect on the pets however unlikely from what the timeline of the study shows. Larger birds however have a harder time from the longer time of flight feather regeneration but in this context with the video that isn't the target case.

I’m a vet tech and I trim my cockatiel’s wings and our two ringneck’s wings. They grow back in about a month or so and it is a painless procedure as simple as a haircut. They can still fly, just not high enough to get stuck somewhere. The procedure is also great for training and hand taming, and my cockatiel likes to stay on my hand now even when her wings aren’t clipped. Just some information for all of the people commenting who don’t even have parrots and call this “abuse.” Thank you for this video as it is very informational and helpful.

I don't believe in clipping birds wings. But young birds/birds not trained, clipping the wings could be safer for training and trust. But they may have to. If they're roofs are tall and high, if there are nails sticking out of the walls. She did her research, like about blood feathers and where to cut. They're her birds, they were not hurt. And that is what matters (if the bird was harmed). Also bird feathers grow back.

i get all the responses that say this isn’t fair to the birds. i feel you, i really do. we don’t like to keep our birds in cages, they’re allowed free reign of the house. but there are some cases where this is necessary. right now, we have two rescue parrots that cannot stand eachother despite living together for years. one keeps to herself, but the other is aggressive and constantly flies right up to the other to attack her. until we can find a safer arrangement for them, the aggressive bird’s wings have to be clipped so they don’t hurt eachother. they are both otherwise happy and mischievous. there is no plucking, they play and explore and their behavior hasn’t changed. even when their wings aren’t clipped, our parrots prefer to walk/climb, i guess it’s because flying takes up more energy. It doesn’t hurt, feathers are like our fingernails and grow back after some time. as long as you take care of your birds and keep their minds busy, they won’t really care and find other ways to travel

Most people that clip do not have a genuine reason for clipping. There are rarely cases that clipping should be utilized, yours being one of them. Clipping still has many health consequences, and for a fully able bird, it can be the cause of severe muscle atrophy, fatty liver disease, and many other health problems. Her lovebirds don’t have any severe issue that would make sense for them to be clipped. Clipping is definitely an abusive practice that needs to stop, however that are RARE cases that it can be utilized. Her video, along with many other comments saying their birds can “bump into windows” and are “easier to tame” are the ones the comments are targeted towards. Since those people have no real reason for clipping that couldn’t be solved with proper training in a flighted bird. Please don’t take them to heart since your bird is blind.

Except for some rare and for the most part temporary medical conditions, the simply is no justifyable reason to clip a birds wings. While it’s true that the procedure isn’t physically painful, it is still a most unpleasant experience for them - imagine someone you love inexplicably and forcibly rendering you a paraplegic, simply because you chew the tops of doors, or poo on their best sofa, or because they don’t think your liberty is worth the effort of being vigilant about open doors and windows? And it’s not the actual procedure so much as it’s effects that are catastrophic for companion birds. These beautiful but still very much wild creatures already sacrifice SO MUCH in order to live with us humans, it is height of selfish disregard for them to think, “this flying business is a bit inconvenient, let’s get rid of it”. Flying is why birds stopped being dinosaurs, it’s what birds do. Yes they can get from A to B by walking, just as we could, theoretically at least, crawl everywhere we needed to go - as in it would be tedious, painful and hugely frustrating but we could still get around? Well no, not really, so what gives me the right to transform my beautiful boy, who in the wild would have routinely covered >200 km on the wing everyday, into a cripple who can only awkwardly and nervously struggle to limp a few meters. And most parrots rarely walk on the ground. The like to be as high up as possible. This is because as prey animals the ground is not safe. So while a clipped bird might seem content when they’re in your company, all those hours when you’re at work or somewhere else, the bird is an anxious, stressed out and hyper vigilant mess, because he doesn’t know when that dog or that eagle is coming back, but when it does he knows HE HAS NO MEANS OF ESCAPING IT, how utterly terrifying that must be, it’s no wonder so many of these mutilated birds are also feather pluckers, biters or have other behaviour problems (what a misnomer, it’s the owners with the behaviour problem, the bird’s “behaviours” are more accurately described as being symptomatic of trauma and abuse). And then there’s all the physical problems wing clipping causes. For the most part a bird’s wing serve no other function but flying, otherwise they’re just extra food for predators. Their entire being assumes flight will be happening and functions accordingly, ie their muscular, digestive, skeletal, neurological , and I can’t remember what other systems are all calibrated towards regular flight, remove this and things go pear shape, for example obese , unhealthy birds (It takes a lot of energy to fly)...Wing clipping, IMO, shouldn’t be framed in terms of “people’s choice”, rather animal abuse stemming from a lack of knowledge and /or a lack of consideration. It needs to go the way of tail docking and ear shaping in dogs and be outlawed, and for those who still insist on this barbaric practice should at the very least refrain from hacking off their birds carefully preened feather with a pair of scissors and HAVE IT DOME BY A QUALIFIED AVIAN VET.

Btw, clipped feathers will fall out and be replaced by new ones, it is a natural process and the bird will fly again with no lasting damage. *Don't clip your bird if you aren't a professional* And just don't clip them it's unnecessary and if your house is dangerous than don't get a bird. Having its wings clipped causes its muscles to be strained and can leave lasting damage.

I hope all of you realize that clipping isn't always because of the owners laziness or something. Sometimes it might be because of health or other issues. Do not hate on everyone if you dont know why they clipped their birds wings.

WARNING: even if your bird has clipped wings do not take them outside unharnessed because they can still fly but just not as well, if this happens and they do fly away they won't have a chance of survival as they are an easy target to prey and they can really hurt themselves if they end up falling while they try to fly

@@bonanswift8747 You do not use your nails for transportation. Your nails do not have muscles that need exercise. Clipping a bird’s wings has severe health consequences, two of which being muscle atrophy and fatty liver disease. That’s only when clipping is long term. Clipping even once can lead to altered aerodynamics of the wings and altered balance. Especially when clipped as a fledgeling. So stop comparing this shit to nails or a haircut. Make sense.

Clipping a birds wings doesn’t hurt them, it’s only a few feathers and it’ll grow back! The reason why this is helpful is when you first get a budgie. If the budgie can fly and it doesn’t trust you yet, it can fly into a wall or a mirror, and can get severely injured. Clipping a birds wings doesn’t hurt them at all and they’ll grow back. So if you are worried that they won’t be able to fly again, they’ll fly again once the feathers grow back. The reason for clipping a budgies wing is just for their safety. If you do get one you should consider getting one clipped or not clipped, but it’s ultimately your choice. (Make sure to get it done by a professional or be really careful though) Let me repeat this one more time, Clipping a birds wings is for the birds safety and they don’t get hurt and the feathers will grow back and they can fly.

Let me explain, friends. The little bird is not being hurt. The wings are clipped so she cannot fly very far. Her feathers will grow back. (Thats what the blood feathers are, the feathers growing back) 1. The little bird is not wild. She is used to being held and is not scared or being hurt. 2. Her wings being clipped prevents her from flying into windows or walls. Or getting lost and captured by cats or other animals. 3. She can still fly! Just not very far.. She can glide to the ground. She will not fall. (Glide means she spreads her wings and slowly moves to the ground, like a slow airplane.) When I was young I did not know the bird wasn't hurt when feathers got clipped. I never clipped them. My bird crashed into a wall almost every time she left the cage. She broke her wing. If I had been old enough to realize this, my bird would've had her wings clipped. She probably would have lived much longer than two years.

The doctor recommended that the best thing to do is clip her wings until she learn to fly a bit better.. I felt bad but realized that if we didn’t she could get worse and ultimately die. Once we clipped her wings she slowly started to learn to fly better and better ... sometimes it necessary to clip their wings in this case totoros.

It doesn’t hurt the bird at all and for me it guarantees that if my bird gets outside he can’t fly very far. He would not last more then a few days on his own as I’m sure other birds would attack him. Inside the house it stops him from reaching certain heights but he can still fly. This is not cruel it’s a preference and a precaution owners take as their bird is domesticated and a family member. We have brown eagles that live near me in Australia and I’m sure my bird would be easy food if he got out.

I am not doing the procedure incorrectly. If you took the bird to the avian vet they’d do it exactly the same way.

A little late but let me explain some stuff. 1. Clipping is necessary for domesticated birds, they'll fly into the wall or a window and injure themselves if they aren't clipped. Unless, of course you keep them in a cage 24/7. ( if you do, you shouldn't have a bird, they need to fly. ) 2. They can still fly with their wings clipped, just not as far, they glide to the ground or their perch. 3. It's not painful, it's pretty much like cutting hair, the bird doesn't feel the wings being clipped. If the bird starts acting like it's in pain, squawking, etc it's either A: It's scared ( birds may be scared the first time their wings are clipped since it's a new experience. ). Or, B: You've cut too much and hurt the bird, if that happens please get them to a vet as quick as you can to assess what happened and how severe it is. All of you posting hate comments need to chill, I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people posting hateful things don't even own birds. Just my input

Some of us who own birds, don't live in the appropriate climate all year around for some birds, if it's snowing outside and my bird gets loose it will die outside. I let my birds wings grow because I thought clipping them were cruel, they were already clipped by the pet store when I purchased them, they were born in a pet store they won't survive out in the wild where I live , so keeping there wings clipped to be on the safe side to me is better than them getting loose outside and dying. So I looked into how to clip them and that's y I'm here. I do let them outside when its warm but only in there cage. They were babies when I got them and I'm trying to train them but anyone with birds knows it takes a lot of time and patience because they have to trust you first.

This is not a hate comment I am just saying my own opinion A bird is known for flying and being free clipping them won't hurt them but it will make them feel trapped and unable to be free its almost like a human being disabled the thing you love most is gone And the thing everyone loves is their freedom Again this is not a hate comment its just my opinion and also the truth

Most of the people in this comment section complaining have never actually owned a domesticated parrot or bird. They need to be kept moderately grounded otherwise they’ll hurt themselves flying around and hitting the walls and furniture. Additionally, a unclipped bird can very easily fly out of the house the moment you open a window or door. And if that happens you have maybe a few days tops to find them otherwise they WILL die because very rarely are they capable of surviving on their own.

Or maybe rather than taking away their ability to use their wings, take the precautionary measures to prevent them from flying out in the first place by bird proofing the house from anything dangerous. When you put enough time and effort to take care of your parrot, you can help your bird become good flyers by training their wing muscles, you can definitely avoid clipping their wings. Stop trying to make excuses why clipping is right; only in a few very specific cases is clipping needed. I have 5 parrots and one is 29 years old and at first she was a bad flyer with weak muscles, but with enough training she was able to build her wing muscles and is a well flyer. Don’t get bird if you can’t take care of them.

No amount of keeping all your doors & windows shut or clearing the space out is gonna make them any less susceptible to them hurting themselves when they fly into a wall. You can certainly help them fly better & safer but that’s not gonna change the fact that most birds don’t have wings suited for flying in confined spaces. You can’t always train them to do something that is unnatural for them. Unless you have the money to afford a bird friendly enclosure that enables them to fly around aimlessly without harm you aren’t gonna protect them in any way other than clipping their wings. Either that or you keep them in their cage which I personally believe to be more cruel as I’d love to at least give them the freedom to glide around in more open spaces to relieve any stress they may have.

Just like many dogs can’t be trained out of not running away when outside & off a leash. And while you can certainly train a bird to better navigate around the house that doesn’t eliminate the danger of them flying into a wall if they’re not careful. Especially when they get the zoomies.

While I may be overgeneralizing with my own experience, I cannot speak for others, my many years and training my parrots, I see that birds will not typically go flying into walls every chance they get. In fact, they are more likely to fly into walls if they’re scared of you / something, but when comfortable they will not fly crazily. If you wish to see, there are a plethora of examples online of people with birds who have unclipped wings and living happily with their owners and not flying into walls/ hurting themselves because they are comfortable. Even when they have “zoomies”, they are trained well to not hurt themselves. It is very possible to have a “ungrounded” bird who doesn’t hurt themselves. Birds are meant to be free and fly as they please!

i wish the comment's weren't really recent, clipping a bird feather's aren't really cruelty, but it needs to be clipped if necessary indeed, but it may cause muscle damage, if i could say, here's my tip, don't a clip a feather too long, it might be best to do that, or either so, this doesn't cause any pain, my promblem with the comment's that they are very recent, making alot of hate, I'd wish they'd understand more often, but the abuse I've seen was people cutting a chicken's head off, trust me, I've seen it before, the worstest animal cruelty are young pig's getting their tail cutted off and literally slamming them infront of their parent's, in a actual freaking farm that's filled with pig's, that is what i call animal cruelty, but i do agree with people that say's "it affects muscle" seriously, if you are reading this, please make the comment's not recent.

I am sorry but i have to make this comment recent. I just want to get my opinion out because this is what I believe in and this is not to send hate just to inform you of other things as well. Clipping doesn’t only affect the muscles, it can also affect the birds mental health in bad ways such as developing a phobia of flying even if the wings are not clipped all the time. I only recommend clipping if your bird is ill ( blind, heart disease etc). Clipping can also make your bird lose their trust in you which will result in aggressive behaviors if upset. In my opinion, clipping a birds wings is the equivalent of a human with chopped off arms and legs. Once again, this is not to send hate and just to inform you of other problems. I sincerely apologize if you got offended or upset.

This is for safety reasons. If these birds got loose in the wild they would likely not survive. They could get lost. I lost my parrot that way. I understand wanting your bird to have freedom to fly, but for most cases clipping flight feathers is the best way to make sure your bird will be safe. They can still have a great quality of life and be safe. You can take them outside with a harness and know they are safe. Yes in the wild in their natural habitat birds should obviously have flight but these are pets and live in human environments with dangers everywhere

Before you say anything, she had already bird proofed her house and she did everything she saw on the research. She had no fault in the situation because the bird was flying in panic. Because of this he got a concussion and despite being against wing clipping, she decided it would be the safest option until he got used to things in the house. One the feathers grow back she’s leaving him flighted. Wing clipping isn’t as “cruel” as it’s made out to be if it’s for the bird’s safety. It is *only* acceptable for that reason. Not for taming or training, simply for their safety. Please keep an open mind on the subject and please don’t demonize people who have their birds wings clipped.

This prevents them from accidentally flying out an open door or window, which can be dangerous for a domesticated bird.

@@koxardon1 Well in extreme cases however not for a general common pet scenario. Understand that it takes two, up to about six weeks for smaller birds to completely regenerate flight feathers, depending on length of clip. Study was taken, and assuming the credibility of the sources, 40 days of constant flight restraint was applied to the small birds which the study was being undertaken. The outcome was a considerable appearance of developing muscle atrophy in the birds, comparing the timeline between 40 days and (midpoint from estimate regenerative time for flight feathers) four weeks, 28 days, there would be time for the birds to be back to flying and preventing complete consequence of muscle atrophy. Also take in mind that while the feathers are regenerating, they may be able to use the lengthening feathers to continue to use their muscles, flying shorter distances for example. So there isn't a complete lack of muscle usage during their times of being clipped and by the time they have their feathers clipped next. Diseases and illness are definite consequence of severe restraint and neglect on the pets however unlikely from what the timeline of the study shows. Larger birds however have a harder time from the longer time of flight feather regeneration but in this context with the video that isn't the target case.

To everybody here who owns a bird.. Please, please DO NOT clip your bird's wings for no reason. Yes, it will take them only 1-3 months to recover, but there is no need to do it if it's not urgent.

I understand where this idea comes from, that clipping a bird will mean they won’t be able to fly. But unfortunately any clip may affect their flight but won’t stop them from flying, it only takes a spook or a gust of wind to take them away! A great way to safely give your bird time outside of the cage, is to bird proof your cage (much like you would baby proof a home!) and flight training so that they can easily coordinate themselves in the air and avoid bumping into the things clipping claims to stop. Unfortunately accidents are more likely to happen when a bird is clipped and cannot easily get themselves out of danger, a clipped bird that escapes is not going to know how to fly down from a tree and have a harder time escaping predators, a clipped bird is more prone to feather plucking and self mutilation as a result of discomfort and stress, clipping affects how much energy they burn, clipping makes them prone to muscle atrophy as a result of not using the muscles they’re supposed to be using. Clipping is not going to keep safe, it is not going to prevent them from escaping, it is not going to allow you to safely take them outside, it is going to negatively affect both their mental and physical health doing things that can be worked on through training as a healthier alternative. A fully flighted and trained bird will know how to coordinate a house, is going to know how to fly down from a tree, is going to be happier, is going to burn off energy through what they’re built to do and just be so much happier, consider flight training your bird instead and you will see better results :)

Holy crap, the amount of hate. I know posting an informative comment on youtube is quite often useless, but I'm going in anyways. Clipping is not inherently wrong. Clipping does not always prevent birds from flying. If lightly clipped, a bird can often still fly, or glide around. They just wont be able to get up the velocity to do light-speed laps around the room. This is great for keeping the bird safe, as flying into walls, windows, etc. can really hurt them. You'd think every bird would naturally be an A+ flyer, but this just isn't the case. Some of them really, really suck at flying, in this case clipping is doing the bird a help, as flying into things can break beaks, feathers, little legs, and worse. Clipping can also be used for behavioral purposes. I can't really speak too much on this, as each situation (and bird!) is different. A clipped bird can be less aggressive. While a flying bird might be a happy bird, the happiest bird is one that gets lots of out-of-cage time, and socialization! Preventing aggressive behaviour, and reducing the risk that the bird might injure themselves while flying, can mean a lot more attention and out-of-cage time, and this is arguably the most important thing for the birds health. As long as bird has a place they can go to feel safe, and an owner who understands, and is considerate of their body language/needs, the little one will be perfectly happy, flighted or not. Sometimes all the training in the world just can't curb the aggression (commonly related to hormones, the bird having been mishandled in the past, or the bird just plain being a grump), and as a last resort, clipping can sometimes address this. Clipping is temporary! When the bird begins a moult (it varies between species, but most commonly happens 1-2 times a year) it will regrow the snipped flight feathers. Some people choose to clip their birds during hormonal periods (puberty, mating season), and let the feathers regrow once that time has passed. It also doesn't hurt the bird, thank goodness! This is coming from someone who will do everything possible to keep their bird fully flighted, but understands that for some birds, clipping is a harmless, non-permanent way to keep them safe and happy.

I really don't think I'm the person you need to be having this discussion with, I know all about windows and mirrors, and my own (unclipped, flying) bird is safe regarding both of them. Let's just agree to disagree.You believe clipping is 100% wrong, I believe it is sometimes helpful as a last resort.

to everyone in the comments: a bird's feathers being clipped isn't permanent and only lasts for a few weeks or until it can fly at a high height. calm down everybody

That’s if you do it the right way. Lmao. Most people clip all the flight feathers all the way down and the bird drops to the ground when trying to take flight. And it’s more like months, not weeks depending on how many are clipped.

@@__mastershifureads__ i dont think the amount of feathers clipped is what determines how long until the feathers grow back. Its until the bird's next molt, when it loses its feathers and they get replaced by new ones. birds will molt regularly, many will molt every few months, or during transitions between seasons, and its not determined by the amount of feathers clipped

You should not routinely clip a bird's wings, only clip their wings for training so they won't fly off and hurt themselves. When they are fully trained, allow their wings to grow in again and leave them uncut.

@@alanahjade27 When a bird is brought home, it needs time to become familiar with its new surroundings. The wings are clipped because they can escape and get lost, or hurt themselves flying at walls, ceilings, windows etc. By the time their wings grow back, they'll understand the layout of their new home. Cutting is *not* harmful, and actually protects your bird _from_ harm.

My lovebirds needed their wings clipped because they always jumped off doors or shelves and flew full force into the mirror, I don't want them to snap their necks and die so I had them clipped while they're getting used to my room

Wow how stupid can you be? A bird isn’t more save. When they fall of a perch they wont be able to catch themselves. I know they can glide and stuff but they fall down fast they have no time to glide. If you want a bird to be SAVE then: 1. DONT CLIP THE FLIGHT FEATHERS 2. cover up mirrors or only have one in a room where they never are or where they aren’t in daily. 3 Cover up the windows and close them 4. give it lots of free flight so it’s breast muscles are strong. If you cut a birds flight feathers they often can’t fly even after the recovery. Cause of the breast muscles not being used cause it can’t fly they will get very weak over time.

those people who think it’s abuse and animal cruelty to trim flight feathers give me a headache

It's not fault if we clip our 'pet' bird's wings for their safety since they can't survive outside by themselves unless they're wild birds. It's wrong if we clip some random wild bird's feathers just for our selfish sake.

It seems all of these replies didn’t even read my comment, I said I don’t support wing clipping, as in I don’t clip my birds wings, but I fully understand why people do it and would encourage people to do it if they had good reasons, such as a disabled bird that can’t fly properly and would be better off with clipped wings, or a bird that could FLY INTO A CEILING FAN? Or a bird with wings clipped temporarily to flight train them, bird owners rarely have evil intentions when clipping wings

This is true all of the people saying that this is cruel and that you shouldn’t do it, Think of it this way, say you work at a facility with heavy machinery that may otherwise be very dangerous if you get a limb or hair coughs in it, a safety precaution might be to cut your hair or tie it up. It’s the same for these birds they are simply controlling a potential hazard and cutting down the risk of having the bird fly too high or hurt itself, as she has said before and many times, this is for people who want to take extra precautions, this doesn’t hurt the bird at all, and last of all of you don’t like this practice there is no need to right any hate comments. What is the point anyway it’s not gonna change the way people do things it’s like telling the president to step out of office and quit, there is a very small chance that they will listen to you!

@@dogsareawesome9197 Bro... they can still fly. 💀 There's plenty of reasons that would warrant the clipping of the flight feathers, ie: blindness, fractured/broken bones, surgery recovery, disabilities, syndromes, etc. Clipping of the flight feathers, when done right, doesn't harm the bird, whatsoever. And the feathers grow back. It only makes it so that they can't fly as fast or as high. Therefore, taking away their ability to break their own necks by flying into windows, walls, doors, or some other unforgiving object. Plus, the majority of pet birds don't get crippling anxiety when some of their flight feathers are clipped.

I have a bird that is not wing clipped, he's fine because he understands well about mirrors and windows. BUT Just got another bird, not wing clipped, he is yet scared of my place and humans, so he actually flied right into a window and fell, it all happened so quickly. Thankfully he's fine but I was so scared if he'd get hurt so i had to put cloths on all the mirrors and close the curtains for days. I am planning to make him get wing clipped for his safety, just for the first few months until he feels secured. People who just criticize the people trying their parrots to get wing clipped would not understand how it could be scary and dangerous for real. For those who just emphasize on birds' freedom of flying, well why don't you let your birds explore the sky instead of limiting them to stay home. You don't want it because they are "pets" and barely have abilities to survive outside. You want to keep them safe from lots of dangers outside. Wing clipping is the same thing, you do it because you want your birds to stay safe IN the house. p.s. I brought this another bird home because someone tried to abandon him. I am not keeping him because I just wanted another "pet". I still love him and want him to stay safe in this house.

Libby Cain Wing clipping is scientifically proven to be mentally and physically damaging for birds. Clipping leads to learned helplessness, obesity, cardiovascular disease, mutilation, pododermatitis (bumble foot), OCD, muscle atrophy, aterosclerosis, and much more, as well as clipped birds being more susceptible to predation. Birds should NEVER be clipped for bonding or training purposes, and in pretty much all cases will make the bird much more terrified of people and cause it to loose self confidence. I have successfully tamed many fully flighted birds with no problems. I believe it is better to let the bird gain enough confidence to let them do it themselves, then clipping and essentially forcing them through the taming process.
