I've never had to clip a bird's wings. Just make sure to cover up any windows that it's near or it could fly into them. Other than that, it's healthy for parakeets to fly around your house. If you have kids then it can get complicated because kids have a long track record of being irresponsible when handling small pets.
I'm considering getting a parakeet and I would love to be able to play with it. I am curious about getting their wings clipped however. I figure I should get them clipped, but what if it fell off my shoulder or something similar?
the parakeet wont just fall off your shoulder. If it ever fell its would flap its wings n fall to the ground at an angle. But make sure it's chest wont be damaged because thats harmful. But yeah lol
i need help! my budgie was recently attacked by a cat or we think by another one of our budgies. he's lost wing and was bleedingbut it has stopped, he has survived the night, and seems to be fine, he is in a quiet room to recover. should i take him to the vet? and will his wing grow back?
@XXJadeLouiseeXX dont listen to six shades he is not going to die bring him to the vet and they will do what they can and eventually his feather will grow back and your budgie will be fine
I had a parakeet without clipped wings. Flew out the door 2 days before the weather started getting really cold. Not clipping it's wings also has it's bad points.
Mine was the nicest of the bunch at the store but was entirely antisocial. uness a bird is flying a lot it doesn't need long wings so I would clip hers (besides we had too many places for her to perch high up) unfortunately she was a little more determined and even with them clipped as far as i was willing to go she could still fly straight up to the ceiling. eventually she came to me ^-^ But i still kept them shortish so the poor cat's could come out of their room when she finally got tired.
Why to clip parakeet's wings? That is just you like without bones, or because parakeet's will get out of your window? Get suck! You will buy a new parakeet. They are just like 30-100 dollars!
what do i do my parakeet was like scared of me like yesterday in then since i first bought him in today hes all exiceted and runs in the cage when i walk beside him then i put my finger he tryed to get close then i put a lil sitck then he got intop of it what do i do next? so i can get him use to me so he can get use to me so when i take him out so he wont leave flying away
He said clipping a parakeet's wing is NOT cool? I think he meant not clipping the wings. Correct me if I am wrong guys im not sure lol...is it good or bad. 1:26 listen
I want my bird to fly (and she can) but I don't want her to fly too much until she gets a little more tame. would be alright If I left some primary flight feathers but not all until she's fully trained?
@LexiBandGeek if u trying 2 tame ur parakeet , its best not leave any flight feather . if ur parakeet takes off u want her 2 safely glide 2 the ground.
Wing clipping is like gluing a man to a wheelchair. "No you can't run! You'll fall and hurt yourself!". Sure the bird might hit the window a few times, but they learn, and most of them get out of it with the scare, just like when we fall we get up. And young birds are clumsy fliers, they need to practice. Place post-its on the windows untill they learn that there is something there.
I'd NEVER wing clip a budgie. In fact, I wouldn't wing clip ANY bird if it's not sick and it is needed. It's a bird, they fly, that's what they do. "Crash and hurt itself"? Birds everywhere manage to fly extremly precicely as long as you let it practice its flying skills. I know people with Aras they never wing clipped their bird, and they are just fine. My birds have never been wing clipped, they fly and they don't just go flying and crashing all the time. They learn to calculate.
Too bad I didn't see this video earlier this year... My bird had ALL these symptoms from the morning and he died later that night... I tried to get him to a vet at night when I was sure something was wrong, but we couldn't afford it, so we called and tried to take care of him ourselves... Didn't work :(
@B4Malfoy wow ur retarded. how is it ANYTHING like that? that would mean the dog couldnt go anywhere but when budgies wings are clipped they just cant fly. but they can still walk, run ect. it isnt mean or anything. it is SOOO ignorent when people say that.
@Koolkid736 It's my opinion. Budgies don't have wings for nothing. By clipping the wings, you force the bird to stay with you, even when it's not in the mood for playing.
When I post MY opinion, it doesn't mean I'm "retarded" when you don't agree with me.
@B4Malfoy Well actually its not like tying a dogs legs together its like having your dog off leash and letting it run around the nieghborhood becuase clipping their wings won't make them fall it will just let them glide.But mainly people clip their wings if they can't handle the bird or they are beginners and well that store that the guy is in is huge and he had to clip the wings or the bird so it wouldn't would fly up and get hurt or in some serious danger.So its like the dog. :)
@MeAndMyBirdRio I agree with you there. For beginning bird owners, it may be good to clip the birds wings so they can begin to create a relationship. But after a while, when the bird is used to the owner and the house, I prefer to let the wings grow and let them fly. =)
I didn't clip my cockatiel's wings, but I DID clip my budgie's wings because when they weren't clipped, she'd bite me. Well she could still fly a bit because I didn't clip them low, but she'd have to work real hard at it.
It doesn't force the bird to stay with you. When my budgie wanted to play, she'd jump onto my finger. When she didn't, she'd walk away. They let you know when they're done.
BUT I see way too many people putting up posters/ads for "lost birds".
@shinocicada I agree. Actuelly, I believe all things have pro's and con's.
Because of this pro's and con's, people can judge things and draw their conclusion. Our view on things makes us unique, so everyone is free to have an own opinion. ;D
@B4Malfoy I agree, I only trim one or two feathers to keep it from picking up too much speed. my room is rather small and slamming into a wall can't feel good. and that's only while i'm training it the first week or so till it gets used to startling sounds and the like. my cockatiels, i've had for eleven years are not trimmed and rarely fly anyway, they like to explore on the ground or climb around on their cage.
@Trollfux it breaks my heart to see birds falling like a brick with so many feathers clipped. mine are perfectly happy, and I let them out of the cage every day, so they're used to seeing people walking by, or talking and pettting them.
@dragonrage122 That`s very nice:) What kind of birds do you have? :)) And btw: Do you know of any good books/dvds about African Greys and how to train them? (Thought since you got birds maybe you know) :D
@Trollfux i have two cockatiels and more recently got a young hand raised budgie parakeet. I can't say i do, but they are smart enough that if you have treats and a dog training clicker you could probably train them that way. it's how i've trained my cockatiels to step up and wave. find out what they love and you can use that as a treat. each bird is so different there's really no set way to train them, but you don't want to criticize them too much or they'll get cranky.
@feefeenthemonsta21 Oh, don't start that. There is always a risk that the bird flies away. So? Be careful.
My bird isn't clipped, and I am always careful when she comes near the door.
Of course, clipping wings has it's advantages and disadvantages.
I respect my bird, and I want her to do what she loves most; flying. So I decided to not clip my birds wings. Don't start calling me dumbass when it's my opinion.
@B4Malfoy whateverr, you know if you let it fly it could get hurt worse than clipping its wings(obviously), because it could run into walls and if you cooking it could even fly into the kitchen & be burned badly...ohhh well, its YOUR bird.
@B4Malfoy No...dogs wouldn't fly away and leave you but these fuckers will if you don't clip the wings...and one of pigeon hurt itself flying in the room, it hit the fan and then I trimmed the wings until it learnt to control itself.
It is not a bad thing. In fact, it is even safe. If they escape, there is no way they can survive. Also, you don't want your bird to fly into the toilet, into a pan, etc.
My friends dad owned a bird with it's wings clipped (ya'll know what I mean). He also had three dogs. He fed these dags from a loft above the play pen, he tossed them bread, hotdogs, doughnuts etc and they'd catch it mid air and whoof it down. One day the bird accidentally fell off the edge of the loft.......need I say more. Chuckle out load. I had to try real hard not to luagh whe he told me that story.
@lovepets4eveer - i had a parakeet and had the same problem. my recommendation is take it one step at a time start with the cage putting ur hand in and trying to show it its ok n giving it a snack and treating it if its getting there it takes patience and some time but evetually it will come if not u can try putting on gloves or something to cover your hand if nothing like that works then the bird probably dosent wanna be held and likes 2 be alone.
@sejlas2009 my bird i have had for years is just like that! he just does not like to be handled i guess its just his personality i still luv him though
Wing-clipping is rather pointless. A parakeet is meant to fly, and call me naive, but I believe parakeets know not to fly into things. And if one does then it learns - providing it hasn't flown off to parakeet heaven, of course. Better that it flies around and learns than sits on a perch stagnating.
I love playing with my bird! We mimick him and make kissy noises and he gets very playful. He'll run back n forth to kiss us and he'll climb on us. He is the best parakeet a girl could ask for. He loves me so much!
you shoul dplay some calming parakeets sounds, like a flock. Theres one on youtube. Your parakeet probably feels lost without his mate and he needs to hear other parakeet noises. Do this everyday morning and night. Talk to him slowely and be very nice and assuring to him. :)
whats the difference of attractive to get out and play with and friendly is to take it out of its cage and play with it whats the differnce? i dont know!
Expert Village tells him exactly what they want him to say. They give him a list of bullet points to go over, and he has to talk about specific things. This isn't just him talking out of his ass.
They do in fact "spook" easily. This is a trait of the parakeet that you must keep in mind when buying one. It is not a pet for young children, but makes a great compainion for older children and adults.
You left a lot of info out. Like the color of the ceres in determining if it is a male or female. That females are less social and more aggressive as are more like to bite hard. Where as males have a larger vocabulary and are much softer biters and are more friendly. Also how to tell if they are young by the dark colored beaks, black eyes, and strips on their head going all the way to their cere. It is always better to get a young one 6 months and under. You will tame it much easier.
Are you really going to listen to advice from someone who does not even know what a parakeet is? He is holding a budgerigar, a member of the Melopsittacus undulatus species. It is just one of over 90 different species of parakeets.
And what is all this talk about something attractive vs. to play with?? If you only care about it for looks, don't get a living pet. Buy a picture. Pets are not decorations. Parrots can be tame, friendly, loving companions and should be given the respect they deserve
Actually even fish can be trained. YouTube doesn't let you post links in the comments so I can only tell you to search "japanese fish swimming in formation" to see that this can be done. I don't know of many people training fish and keeping them for anything more than decoration but just saying it's possible.
But when it comes to parrots, they don't just like training and attention, they need it. They are intelligent social animals. Don't buy a parrot to keep in cage all day just to look at,
I've done some research, and yeah, I was really confused as to why on earth people kept calling budgies parakeets. I think that for whatever reason, it's just gotten into popular culture that these things are also called parakeets. And, yeah, they MAY be parakeets, but it's almost as bad as taking a beta fish and just saying "To care for your fish..." :/ People really should insist on calling them budgies for the sake of clarity. Not just whatever scientific grouping of bird they're under.
look, i keep seeing people saying clip its wings, for a number of reasons. THIS IS NOT NESESARY. i tamed my budgie with out clipped wings, and i have never clipped his wings. if you are resbonsible,and the bird does love you, then you have no need to clips its wings. the bird wont want to leave you. if i leave a room, my budgie flock calls a bit, then i call him, and he flys out to me.
thats really cool. i'll keep that in mind. tho maybe i;ll clip its wings for the first few weeks to keep it from flying out the door and into the neighbors cat. maybe a few weeks to get it used to me. then there wont be a need for it. i dont really like the thought of clipping wings. =(
I've never had to clip a bird's wings. Just make sure to cover up any windows that it's near or it could fly into them. Other than that, it's healthy for parakeets to fly around your house. If you have kids then it can get complicated because kids have a long track record of being irresponsible when handling small pets.

It is not a bad thing. In fact, it is even safe. If they escape, there is no way they can survive. Also, you don't want your bird to fly into the toilet, into a pan, etc.

My friends dad owned a bird with it's wings clipped (ya'll know what I mean). He also had three dogs. He fed these dags from a loft above the play pen, he tossed them bread, hotdogs, doughnuts etc and they'd catch it mid air and whoof it down. One day the bird accidentally fell off the edge of the loft.......need I say more. Chuckle out load. I had to try real hard not to luagh whe he told me that story.

@lovepets4eveer - i had a parakeet and had the same problem. my recommendation is take it one step at a time start with the cage putting ur hand in and trying to show it its ok n giving it a snack and treating it if its getting there it takes patience and some time but evetually it will come if not u can try putting on gloves or something to cover your hand if nothing like that works then the bird probably dosent wanna be held and likes 2 be alone.

Wing-clipping is rather pointless. A parakeet is meant to fly, and call me naive, but I believe parakeets know not to fly into things. And if one does then it learns - providing it hasn't flown off to parakeet heaven, of course. Better that it flies around and learns than sits on a perch stagnating.

I love playing with my bird! We mimick him and make kissy noises and he gets very playful. He'll run back n forth to kiss us and he'll climb on us. He is the best parakeet a girl could ask for. He loves me so much!

VickGibson 2 years ago
you shoul dplay some calming parakeets sounds, like a flock. Theres one on youtube. Your parakeet probably feels lost without his mate and he needs to hear other parakeet noises. Do this everyday morning and night. Talk to him slowely and be very nice and assuring to him. :)

Expert Village tells him exactly what they want him to say. They give him a list of bullet points to go over, and he has to talk about specific things. This isn't just him talking out of his ass.

mikejackson4ever 2 years ago 2
They do in fact "spook" easily. This is a trait of the parakeet that you must keep in mind when buying one. It is not a pet for young children, but makes a great compainion for older children and adults.

You left a lot of info out. Like the color of the ceres in determining if it is a male or female. That females are less social and more aggressive as are more like to bite hard. Where as males have a larger vocabulary and are much softer biters and are more friendly. Also how to tell if they are young by the dark colored beaks, black eyes, and strips on their head going all the way to their cere. It is always better to get a young one 6 months and under. You will tame it much easier.

Are you really going to listen to advice from someone who does not even know what a parakeet is? He is holding a budgerigar, a member of the Melopsittacus undulatus species. It is just one of over 90 different species of parakeets.
And what is all this talk about something attractive vs. to play with?? If you only care about it for looks, don't get a living pet. Buy a picture. Pets are not decorations. Parrots can be tame, friendly, loving companions and should be given the respect they deserve

What about fish?
picatsoforfma 2 years ago
Actually even fish can be trained. YouTube doesn't let you post links in the comments so I can only tell you to search "japanese fish swimming in formation" to see that this can be done. I don't know of many people training fish and keeping them for anything more than decoration but just saying it's possible.
But when it comes to parrots, they don't just like training and attention, they need it. They are intelligent social animals. Don't buy a parrot to keep in cage all day just to look at,
kiliparrot 2 years ago 3
I've done some research, and yeah, I was really confused as to why on earth people kept calling budgies parakeets. I think that for whatever reason, it's just gotten into popular culture that these things are also called parakeets. And, yeah, they MAY be parakeets, but it's almost as bad as taking a beta fish and just saying "To care for your fish..." :/ People really should insist on calling them budgies for the sake of clarity. Not just whatever scientific grouping of bird they're under.

look, i keep seeing people saying clip its wings, for a number of reasons. THIS IS NOT NESESARY. i tamed my budgie with out clipped wings, and i have never clipped his wings. if you are resbonsible,and the bird does love you, then you have no need to clips its wings. the bird wont want to leave you. if i leave a room, my budgie flock calls a bit, then i call him, and he flys out to me.
TeamIain 2 years ago 4
thats really cool. i'll keep that in mind. tho maybe i;ll clip its wings for the first few weeks to keep it from flying out the door and into the neighbors cat. maybe a few weeks to get it used to me. then there wont be a need for it. i dont really like the thought of clipping wings. =(
