He can't fly, his cardiac vascular system will deteriorate followed by general poor health and early death. Of course this helps the pet trade you sell more birds. If you want a pet that doesn't fly try a rabbit or a dog or a mouse the choice is really endless, no need to maim an animal for your own gratification.
@painless you do know what you've said isn't true, right? A bird that flies can have just as much heart disease as a clipped bird. (HINT: Diet is a huge part of preventing cardio vascular disease.) And remember wing clipping is a small part of the overall care of your bird. Much more goes into keeping it happy and healthy. Both can be achieved in clipped or unclipped birds. You must do what is right for your situation, period.
@philwww Its like trimming hair, calm down. I have two tiels, one clipped, one not, ad they are both as happy as can be, regardless of wing clips. The only reason I have one clipped is that the older one has a bit of an attitude problem, so its for training purposes. The breeder had the younger ones wings clipped, but I let her grow them out so she could learn how to fly properly.
@plehetoeple RUBBISH , do you know that some birds will be killed if they escape ? ive been breeding lorikeets for 10 yrs , in Australia a tame bird will be killed by other lori's , dont comment on something you obviously dont know
It is unbelievable ... your birds are trustfully ... they don't show any fear ... but you act as an enemy and take them away their normal way to move ...
Please excuse, I don't want to be rude. But in Germany wing clipping of pet birds is animal abuse.
@linnieworld I keep hearing you say that over and over, that's it's not allowed in germany - I can only find pages that say it's looked down upon in germany, but nothing about it being illegal or animal abuse. If you could find a page for me that shows this I'd appreciate it.
Please search for "Mindestanforderungen an die Haltung von Papageien". The statute of 1995 was supplemented in the year 2008 with new editions (page no. 14). If you are not successfull, I will send you a link.
I know that in Germany parrots are also kept in cages or rooms which are not suitable for bird attitude. It's a lot to do to inspire people to think like a pet. Pets have no lobby ... people buy them and treat them like toy ...
@linnieworld It's for the bird's safety. A fully flighted bird could fly away, getting separated from its owners. This would prevent it from getting food and water and it would probably die alone this way. It could also fly into dangerous areas inside a home such as into ceiling fans, into windows trying to get outside, or fly and land on a burning stove or such hurting itself severely. A bird kept as a pet in a home doesn't need the ability of full flight and having it can be bad for them.
does it hurt2 give ur babies away becaue when my mom was breeding cats she said it was heartbreaking 2 give away the kittens so is it the same with birds?
@vaporeon333xxx It is sad sometimes, but I know my babies are going to wonderful loving homes and they will go make a new family happy and that means alot to me. I love hearing back from their new families about how happy their little baby is and how happy their family is with their new baby.
@vaporeon333xxx i think yes because u see how they grow and how they start to fly and when u give it away you think are they going to treat them well and questions like that.
Lila is being so stubborn about getting her wings trimmed. She is not letting us expand her wings. Chris is worried he will squash her if we wrap her in a towel. Between his nervousness and Lila's stubbornness I am a little at a loss. They need to be trimmed as she has taken off a couple of times around the house. The avian vet wants to charge us a ridiculous amount to do it. Any suggestions other than a road trip to see you?
@mcorbin862 I know it is harder to trim an older bird because they are not as easily distracted like these babies in this video are. I bet you guys can do it. Watch the video a couple of times and then one of you hold Lila....in a towel if you have to....and the other person can trim the wings. Be careful you are only cutting wings and not toes which sometimes can get in the way. The first time is always the hardest. Let me know how it goes.
first of all, thanks for sharing with us. bjay is such a cutiepie when he is looking up. secondly, have you ever tried any other clipping techniques? I stumbled across this clipping exoticpetvetDOTnet/avian/clip.html a while back and have asked a few what they think. What do you think?
@lostintravise I don't see anything wrong with the wing clipping technique described in your link other than it is fairly severe trim and probably would cause crash landing if more than 3 or 4 feathers are cut. With the clipping I describe in this video a light weight bird such as these green cheeks can fly across a room and land / glide comfortably without crashing. Smaller birds usually dont have a problem with trimmed feathers causing discomfort next to the body like larger birds do.
