How To Clip Your Parrot's Wings Safely

🦜 Wings! Controversy! Why Would You Clip Your Parrot's Wings?
The only reason we clip wings is for our parrot's safety. Some of the most bedazzling colors. I hate clipping their wings.
However, some of my parrots walk and fly into trouble. They go harass other parrots. So, we clip their wings so that they don't fly onto another parrot's cage/home, which is their safe space. I am a strong believer that each one of my parrots (actually, every creature in my home) has the right to have a hassle-free safe space all their own.
Other parrots, like my Catalina Macaw, are too big to fly around and I walk her- she loves going out on my arm to see what's up with the sky! She is not trained to free-fly, nor am I willing to take on the inherent free-fly risks at this time, so for her safety and enjoyment, she's clipped at this time. Things change and their flight feathers grow out, so who knows what to tomorrow will bring, but for now, this is where I feel the best, safest choice is for her.

I do not recommend clipping your birds wings unless the bird is ill (blind, heart problems …etc). Birds can develop a fear of flying and heights and you can also lose their trust as well. Clipping their wing just so that they rely on you is also very cruel in my opinion. Imagine someone takes you in and cuts off your arms and legs just so that person make you rely on them. Also this is just my opinion.

I could not agree more!!! We avoid clipping our parrots unless we feel we must. Instead, we feel they need to exercise. However, people will do it -- and I want them to know how. I DO NOT want them to cut their bird's wing and injure them. I hope that you can agree with that-- a safe bird is more important to me and I'm hoping to help in this way.

I want to trim my love birds wings.. I just got her a few weeks ago, but she is not friendly yet and when I try to hold her she bites Hard and/or flys to where I can't get to her

Do they have to be tamed before you try to clip wings at home

[@Litzylovesmakeup14]

I don’t want to traumatize the bird then it might never gain my trust

[@SKMPMusic]

@@Litzylovesmakeup14 I recommend doing it before taming cause after taming it, if u loose it's trust, it'll be double hard to tame it again.....
