"It's crewel to not clip your parrots wings, because there is a high probability it will eventually fly into a window, into the cooker or out of the window where it will starve to death"...
But the question anyone who actually respects life and nature would ask is
why have a parrot as a pet in the first place?
Something that is born to fly in the open sky...
you say you love birds?
and yet take THAT away from them for your own pleasure...
I wonder how many of the people crying over not clipping wings actually owns a bird....
Guys, it grows back and they can still fly short distances. This is done for their own safety, otherwise it might fly into a ceiling fan, a bunch of electrics or maybe straight into a window - breaking it's neck.
even if is does not hurts the bird, it's wrong to take away his abbility to fly. And don't you come with that crap: it's for his own safety. When you are home you just have to be awared and watch it all the time. We don't put our babys in cages, do we? No, we let them play and discover the world while we're watching if everything goed allright. stupid people who cut their birds wings. shame on you!
People who do not clip your birds wings good job, and I know why u don't but I clip my birds wings because I take her outside and walk her to the park and it is too dangerous not to clip them if u do that.
@dabrdman This is a very bad idea. Many many people have lost parrots this way by thinking that a clip will keep them from flying away. Yet a strong breeze or a sudden panic can take even a clipped parrot high enough to get carried off out of sight. Whether flighted or clipped, parrots should be in a carrier or wearing a harness outdoors unless they are specifically outdoor freeflight trained. Clipping provides nothing more than a false sense of security... until the parrot flies off!
@jase123111 don't compare a dog to a bird dogs NEED their legs to actually walk and their legs would never grow back, plus it hurts them when the vet is chopping off their legs. Unlike birds. It doesn't hurt at all and it regrows it won't affect them it's only for a period of time. Instead compare you to the bird cut your hands off so you don't have to be on the Internet
@themike2048- but it does limit cardio vascular exercise when they flap their wings in flight action. Flapping just for the sake of doesn't so they can end up with heart failure, lung problems etc.. and their wings feather can take up to 14 months to grow back, by which time the damage to their lungs and heart may already be done. You do make some valid points though.
It is totally wrong to clip a birds wings and very cruel. It may not hurt the bird physically, but sure does mentally. Why don't we cut off the legs of our dogs and cats (under anesthetic so not to hurt them). They they can not run out of the door and get lost, or run over by a car, if people want a bird build it a large aviary and get it a partner and let them enjoy their flying about. If breaks my heart seeing birds in cages, clipped wings, no other birds for company.
Sorry to burst your bubble but that parrot is NOT enjoying your petting. If you want your bird comfortable with you why don't you actually try giving it time with a little TRAINING instead of taking away what is a birds most unique skill. offer it food and treats when its relaxed, & don't pet them unless u know they like it . I have two parakeets who are very close to me, they come to me as if I, myself were a treat to them ^ . ^ but I still have'nt tried to pet them b/c they are birds NOT dogs
The reasons given for clipping here are completely irrelevant. Wing clipping does not "enhance your relationship with your pet bird." It simply immobilizes it so that people can impose whatever they want on it. In a way it's taking away what makes a bird a bird. I don't know why someone would get a bird that doesn't like how birds are. Also, clipping does not prevent a bird from escaping or getting injured. Responsible care by the owner does. Wing clipping is not a solution for these concerns.
@kiliparrot not everyone's situation allows for free flight. Sure you can say don't get a bird but it's too late so please know that clipping is a valid option and birds that are clipped can live full happy long lives. Please don't judge but allow everyone to make the choice that is right for them. Peace
@DJdext Of course people are making a choice that they feel is right for themselves. The bird's health and well being isn't a consideration when clipping and I am completely aware of that. I just can't stand when people pretend like it's for the parrot's own good. They make it sound like it's something the parrot would want. The video suggests that clipping prevents escape or improves relationships but this is simply untrue regardless of the reason why people find flighted parrots inconvenient.
@kiliparrot deep breath, relax. Freedom of choice right? Any reason 4 clipping is just as valid 4 not. Please don't vilify anyone. Allow people to come to their own decision. Funny enough I met someone who allows her birds to fly around her home. That's all. They never feel natural sunlight on their faces nor have they been properly socialized. I take my clipped bird everywhere the law allows and as often as possible so I wonder which one is better but if that's what's right for her then great
@DJdext That makes no sense at all. I come across so much ignorance in people who keep parrots clipped. Clipping and taking a parrot outside have nothing to do with each other. Unless the parrot is reliably outdoor freeflight trained, it should have a carrier or harness outdoors clipped or not. So many clipped parrots end up flying off outdoors so clipping is not a safe solution for that either. People just don't understand cause/effect. Clipping doesn't solve much yet people do it anyway.
@DJdext Freedom of choice???? Who's choice? Obviously it's not the parrot's choice. If it were the parrot's choice then a never clipped parrot could be asked to choose not to fly. Bet that never happens because flight is so natural for them. They are birds. Why would you want to take that away from them? Mine fly at home, spend time outside in an aviary, go for walks outdoors with me on harnesses, fly outdoors on harnesses, are very social, perform tricks, etc and all while not clipped.
@kiliparrot my bird is cool with me clipping a wing. He knows the words no and stop it and can use them in context. so it makes me wonder why he doesn't use those words at that time. I have asked him if he wants to fly but I still have not gotten a response. So I cannot claim to know what he thinks either way. I wonder about show budgies that have been breed so that their beautiful feathers no longer allow them to fly. So just because they have wings they should be allowed to fly, period?
@DJdext Just because your parrot doesn't resist wing clipping is no indicator that it understands the connection between clipping/flight nor that it has much choice. If it really wanted to just give up flight, then you could have not clipped its wings ever and just asked it to stop. Clipping is unhealthy and unnecessary if only people knew what they were doing. Don't mean to steal the thread, won't post anymore. I may write an article on my website on the subject if you wish to discuss it more.
@SimBeeful- Sorry, but I dissagree. To me, clipping is wrong. Why would you stop a bird from doing what it is supposed to do ...fly?? The feathers take upto 14 months to grow back & yes birds can get depressed and can pluck their feathers in pure frustration and depression. I've witnessed this for myself. You have obviously been lucky with your birds but I have seen birds birds peck themselves until they bled through depression. Not something I am prepared to risk. Good luck to you though.
@Pookspoons yeah. depression if they've been flying for a few years and they get them clipped AND they have no toys. I have a 9 year old sun conure and a 1 year old one too. the nine year old has had freeflight all his life because a family friend owned him, but she gave him to us and I got his wings clipped. hes had his first toy when he was with me, and so, now enjoying the mental stimulation of toys,has not plucked a feather ONCE.
@Pookspoons Wrong wrong and wrong. First. Clipping may be morally wrong because you deny then flight but, look at it from this point of view. If I clip their wings, I can play with him, bond with him, train him, so he'll be entertained. If I leave his wings It'll be so hard to get his attention that I'd probably wouldn't bother to chase him around to have activities with him. So he would probably stay in the cage, where he can't fly anyway. So what's better?
@Sithlordxxxx So your bird only spends time with you because you clipped its wings and not because it actually likes you... what's the joy in that? My parrots can fly, they fly to me when I call them, they can do all kinds of tricks, they are super tame, they trust me, and they truly love spending time with me. I know because sometimes I can't keep them off of me. So what's better? Not clipping the wings and having a genuine relationship with the parrot based on trust, respect, and love.
@kiliparrot Not everyone knows how to tame a parrot to that point w/o clipping their wings. I have 2 of them and the one Im trying to tame was simply not interested in our 'relationship' since he already have a friend and there was no way of teaching him anything, he would always fly away to his mate. I also didnt want to separate them so clipping did the trick. He can still fly a bit though, he can get to high points and landing is no problem. His wings will grow back in time.
@kiliparrot my IRN never flies only when hes terrified unlike ur parrot also my parrot does trust me an enjoys staying with me, how can i make my IRN use flight as a way of transportation and other uses not escaping when his terrified
@Pookspoons Though people do have different opinions on this, I dont disagree OR agree. Clipping can of course prevent unwanted escapes, but it also needs its exercise. Clipping its wings can be a good thing if someone is trying to flight harness train their bird and so they don't try and fly off and meet the end of the harness painfully, the clipped wings will prevent that and the bird will know not to do that and the feathers will still grow back.
@Pookspoons Also, people that KNOW how to clipped their bird's wings properly should know that, even with clipped wings, a bird can still catch a good wind and fly off. Especially lighter birds like cockatiels, budgies, or conures. Leaving one or two feather fingers on them and they can still get pretty far. So clipping ALL the dominant flight feathers might be a bit too much, unless necessary. But clipping isnt WRONG as you might put it. what IS wrong, is breaking the wing at a young age---
@Pookspoons the reason that i have to clip the birds wings is because shes an alpha female and she flys ut and attacks the other birds (shes a parakeet)
@Pookspoons I had my sun conure fly up a huge oak tree several hundred feet above...We clip his wings now just enough so he can still fly across the room but not so we can barely get him back.... There is no clear answer to which is right, just keep that in mind
@Pookspoons Do you own a parrot? I wasn't sure about clipping until I got a parrot that was a little escape artist. She ended up trying to take a bath in the toilet and I was lucky I was home and got her out before she drowned! I was also afraid she'd hit a ceiling fan, fly into a window, get into something she shouldn't when I wasn't around, crash into a mirror or window, escape out the door when my 7 year old was holding it open way too long...maybe
I forgot To clip My other bird wings and it flew away it was one year old and wasnt tamed alot and it was a girl my other one was boy and he kept on crying for her :(
Is it to hard to remeber this stuff? his woman was obviously reading off a teleprompter. I am only 11, and have had 1 major part in a recent play, and 2 part last year and we didnt have a teleprompter or whatevr shes reading!!!
@CJBountyHunter The woman is clearly old enough to have to wait some time to recall her memories on wing clipping. Besides, 11 year olds have an educational brain, that means they can learn stuff easier than adults can. We don't give a flying fuck about your play.
am i got a budgie from a petstore about two years ago and his feathers haven't grown yet and i think they are now but they cut them when he was a baby and he dose not know how to fly!
@emo6167 Hey! My baby bird is getting their wings clipped tomorrow, i begged my father not to, but he's getting thewings clipped at petco clipping is wrong!
Good video. I would have liked to see you actually trimming the wing (or more accurately the feathers). You would only do the one wing? and you can point out the flight feathers when the looking at the rear of the bird i.e. they are to long dark ones protruding the furthest. cheers, Ray
@paulaxa1 Yes the feathers will grow back. The pace at which they grow back really depends on the bird. A cockatiel may take 4-6 weeks and larger birds may take longer.
We were going to clip my birds wings but we decided not to so about a week ago he flew in to the door but he was ok and he never did it again. lol he's a Lorikeet I named him rambow
In Sweden there is a law against clipping your pet birds wings. It falls under animal cruelty. I doubt that this law would be there if no harm comes to the birds.
@maaz4life1 The wings do grow back...As it is not the wings you clip it is simply the flight feathers. This video is not clear on that. It is like trimming your finger nails, except for the fact you are not taking away a natural instinct when you do so! So do a few at a time if your bird's feathers are not clipped.
I have the best relationship now with Ranger because i am training him to fly and he loves it and beyond happier mental & physical!!! Now Ranger just flies on my before I can leave the room!!! and its Ranger's chose!!!
I got my budgie clarky 2 and a half months ago, he is a pretty happy birdy and he gets on my fingers when he wants to. When i bought him his wings were clipped but im not sure if i should do this again. Please give me an opinion if should i clip his wings again or not, and if i do can i wait a little longer or can i do it now?
@mysterygirlski I would advise if you have never done it before that you have a vet do it for the first time so you can watch how it is done and get extra pointers. When to clip the wings really depends on the bird and how fast the feathers grow. If he seems to be getting lift when he flies off the perch then it might be time. Your vet will be able to give you some advise on the timing also.
maybe you should close ur windows...why should i keep my bird from flighing? think it´s more probably that he gets hurt, when he falls and is not able to fly...so what´s the point with all this...had my budgie for more than 12 years, never cut his wings and he was all fine with it
Feather clipping limits or completely eliminates birds' ability to fly, making them unable to escape from predators or other animals in the household or to avoid being stepped on or injured by their human caretakers.
Easily. My cockatiel easily will get himself killed if I leave him unclipped, but letting them fly for your visual stimulation is wrong, not the clipping. Leo is very very happy without wings, and besides, if I didn't clip his wings, I wouldn't be able to bring him outside and let him play in trees. Trust me, clipping is fine. Stop spamming because you're getting nowhere.
@Saphruikan Bullshit! This is animal cruelty. A bird to avoid the possibility of flying is complete nonsense. And so to keep the bird of death is not more than a false alibi. The bird would fly like it more secure than climb a tree pruned to. Your experience of what might please the bird is probably completely out of place.
Bullshit? Have you ever tried it? Have you seen a bird crying in woe of not having functional wings? No. Birds don't think like that. For them, flying is a means of transportation in the wild, nothing more. They think of things like safety and getting to food, and only after that do they think of mental stimulation. As an owner, you should provide all these things on a daily basis. And I have plenty of experience, after owning a cockatiel after over two years. Fix your grammar.
LOL you're so funny. See, the honest truth is that birds aren't like humans. Humans and birds are both animals, but humans are just smarter animals. THEREFORE, they don't think like us. And I love how you say I don't know what birds think, whereas you scream and moan about how all clipped birds are being abused and how they all hate their lives and feel handicapped. Fail hypocrisy. Honestly, I don't care whether you clip your bird or not. Just don't force people not to. It's dumb.
@Saphruikan Your so boring with your arguments. Dumb is, when you think, you can do with the birds what you want. But that is not the fact. You dont do the best for the birds, you do the best for the petholders. And sure, YOU are a animal - you show it with your writing here.
Um yeah, I am an animal . . . you are too, it's kind of a fact. . . .
But see, you're just basing this off of YOUR experiences. Whether you should clip your bird's wings or not depends on the living quarters of the bird. With me, I have two cats, and lots of windows he could try to fly out of. I need to clip Leo's wings to make sure he's safe. It's not cruelty, it's just how he lives. And guess what? He's really happy. Just stop forcing other people not to, because that's stupid.
@Saphruikan Its so stupid. The birds have in your home no rights. Your Rooms are to little, so you clip the birds wings. You want to open the windows, so you clip the birds wings. You have two cats, perhaps you have to decide for a species. There are many other oppertunities, but you rather torture your animal. If you dont provide welfare-friendly conditions for your bird, you should have no parrot. The courts would have to forbid you to have pets.
Just answer me this: How is cutting off a few feathers - a painless procedure that the bird forgets about two seconds later - so that he doesn't kill himself torturing my bird? Because obviously you think my bird plucks his feathers and bites and screams and is the most miserable thing ever. Get it through your head. MY. BIRD. IS. NOT. DEPRESSED. OR. DEPRIVED. Besides, if I didn't clip his feathers, I wouldn't be able to take him outside, and THAT is cruel.
@Saphruikan I cant read you anymore. I never wrote, that your bird screams or something else. The Fact ist: Your bird can not fly, but that he naturally should be able to - whether it is a painless process. With your arguments you talking about yourself happy, but with my request they have absolutely nothing to do.
The thing is, birds don't need to. You go on about how it's cruel, but in case you haven't noticed, birds can walk and climb just as well. And please fix your grammar, I can barely understand you as it is. How am I talking about making myself happy? Everything I do is for my cockatiel. You haven't seen my house, but if you did, you'd clip my bird too.
@Saphruikan I can't believe what I'm reading... "Birds can walk and climb too"... As opposed to flying in the open sky? - A day of freedom flying free is better than an existence of imprisonment in your house. How can you love something like a bird and say it's not about your own pleasure... and then take away the use of its wings. And you're even more of a dick for criticizing someones grammar, who's first language probably isn't english... when they're making perfect sense. Wanker.
If I clip my bird's wings, he can't go outside anyway, because he'd fly away. If I don't, he can go outside and play in trees. Yelling at me isn't going to change my opinion, and it's not going to make me not clip my bird's wings. It would be nice to have an intelligent. conversation with someone about this, but everyone resorts to yelling and/or insults.
@Saphruikan when I try and see the bigger picture of this, the thought of you having birds, taking them outside to interact and explore, play around the house, generally loving them, feeding them etc and even clipping their wings... It doesn't bother me greatly. But on this simple topic.. when it comes to birds, I believe they belong in the sky, free and we should appreciate their beauty that way. I can't get the feeling out of my head, that it's like putting a butterfly in a jam jar to watch it
Thank you for being calm. I guess what we view as cruel varies with how we live. Trust me, I used to feel the same as you. I didn't clip my bird's wings because I thought it was the epitome of cruel. But then how does my silly bird repay me for being a sympathetic owner? He decided to try to fly into a pot of boiling water. He was lucky I was there and caught him. I clipped him, and haven't noticed a change in his behavior, so I guess it's okay with him. Thanks again. :)
@Saphruikan I agree, the best thing to do is clip it's wings so it doesn't die flying into a window, or boiling water as you say. But what I'm thinking is, why have a bird in the first place? I had a dog, and he had an awesome life, long walks daily, loved, well fed, trips. I would love another dog, but I circumstances changed and I can't give a dog the quality of life it deserves. So I won't get another till I can. That's why I couldn't get a bird - flying outside is their quality of life?
Well, actually, I didn't choose getting a bird. He was a present for my twelfth birthday. I'm still really glad I got him. I know where you're coming from, but it's not like my bird isn't living to his extent. He can still get everywhere by asking me to take him there, and there's nowhere in my house he's missing. I actually think flying limits him, because his favorite pastime is going outside, and being able to fly away from me and not come back takes that away.
@Saphruikan I said before that a day of freedom is better than a life time in someones house for a bird. I didn't mean that as a blanket statement. Each situation is specific and different. With your bird, I don't argue that the best place for his life is with you now. But I think the market for pet birds in general is not right. They should not be sold as home pets or farmed for sale in this way. As pets, its like dolphins kept in swimming pools - or a dog that only has a back yard. why buy 1.
I don't like the harvesting of wild birds either, but if they're handled with care instead of illegally smuggled, I'm fine with it. As for the dolphin thing, that's not a really accurate comparison in my opinion, because dolphins require open space. Birds, however, are really adaptable. But whatever. What kind of bird do you have?
DONT CLIP THE WINGS!!!!!!!!!! I know its gonna help u train ur budgie but theirs gonna be a easier way. a way that can make you bond with the budgie!it make u closer to the budgie so then when its time that u tamed it? It's gonna trust u more and it will never bite you! But if u clip it,its taking away freedom. It's just like if someone cut ur legs would u like it? Well this is what a budgie would feel like!
My fu.cking pet vet told my sister to cut my birds wings. So my sister cut my birds wings off with scissors, anyone know what to do, he's bleeding everywhere? And he has no wings, will they grow back?

@Nallen026 Not true. My conure and I are the best of buds. I clip his wings but some were growing back. Every morning like clock work I wake up and my bird wants to go sit on the porch on his favorite tree stand. I usually let him sit there all day. He never goes anywhere. The wind knocked over a lawn chair that bumped the stand and it spooked my bird. He took off. I was shocked. Took me two days and one thunderstom to finally get his scared little butt to come out of that tree 3 blocks away.

@Nallen026 I'm sorry, but no. The birds don't escape because of a missing bond with their owner. They fly away because they are birds, and that's what they do. Unfortunately, when a bird flies away, it rarely knows exactly where it flew from, and can't trace its way back easily at all, and gets lost.
People should get the terminology right - it's not clipping their wings - it's clipping their wing FEATHERS - it's just like getting a haircut if it's done properly. The feathers do grow back and the feathers have no nerves so it's painless - just be careful and only cut the tips of the feathers.
you just cut off half the feathers. They look nicer also. I have a Parakeet that goes jet mode when hes out of his cage. sucker cant go 120 mph in my room no more. dont take them to the petco or whatever they go into the nerves and screw it up. They dont know what they are doing.
I found a bird and someone told me clips the birds winds. I ended up cutting the bird's wings off, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that. My bird know longer has wings, and he's so sad.
@Aladdin1bird Yes birds fly, but there are alot of risks if they do, epecialy if the ceiling fan is on, when they are outside a predator could spot them. And for me ( i have a lovebird) I have read that if they fly its harder to train them because they feel the freedom of flying.
That doesn't work everywhere. For example we have hawks here, and cats and other animals that would snatch up any bird that we would let fly around outside. I used to have lovebirds and they all lived in a free flight aviary, but the ones I kept in the house had their wings clipped for safety.
Its okay to clip wings with a new or young bird, once the bird is trained and trusts you, you can allow the feathers to grow back and flight train. I have a Nanday with full wings, but will need to clip them due to him not trusting people and trying to fly away, he can hurt himself more so now. And cooking with a free bird in the room is stupid, that's asking for an accident. Its all personal opinion on this subject, there is no right or wrong.
it would be better to teach the bird to free fly and come on command then to actually clip its wings. im not saying it cruel or anything but i think it would like it better
you clip the wings train it and then i guess u could let the wings grow back. its pretty hard to keep a bird focused when it can fly anywhere. lovebirds crave training and human interaction so clipping their wings keeps them close to you
@zepol727 Considering some birds like Cockatiels prefer to walk, I would rather the bird have its wings clip and never have the chance that a larger bird scares them away and you never get your bird back or the bird gets put in danger.
Yeah, but once they grow back it's merely an inconvenience for you?
I dunno .. it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me owning a bird and not wanting it to fly. Not cruel, but sort of making a boring life for your bird if he already knew how to fly.
No, there's nothing more heartbreaking than your bird falling in to a pot of boiling soup like a friend of mine's clipped sun conure did. Simple solution, shut the door.
Don't get me wrong, some of my birds are clipped, but only when recall training wasn't working because we have really high windows which they were perching up at, and we needed to be able to bond while these two were young. As soon as their feathers grow back we're starting the training again. Already had success with one :)
@psittacines a similar heart breaking thing happend to my baby parakeet, he was flying and landed in a bunch of pots breaking almost all the bones in his body he died because of that :(. and i had no door cuz the living room and almost every thing in the house is connected :/

Yet a strong breeze or a sudden panic can take even a clipped parrot high enough to get carried off out of sight. Whether flighted or clipped, parrots should be in a carrier or wearing a harness outdoors unless they are specifically outdoor freeflight trained. Clipping provides nothing more than a false sense of security... until the parrot flies off!

@themike2048- but it does limit cardio vascular exercise when they flap their wings in flight action. Flapping just for the sake of doesn't so they can end up with heart failure, lung problems etc.. and their wings feather can take up to 14 months to grow back, by which time the damage to their lungs and heart may already be done. You do make some valid points though.

It is totally wrong to clip a birds wings and very cruel. It may not hurt the bird physically, but sure does mentally. Why don't we cut off the legs of our dogs and cats (under anesthetic so not to hurt them). They they can not run out of the door and get lost, or run over by a car, if people want a bird build it a large aviary and get it a partner and let them enjoy their flying about. If breaks my heart seeing birds in cages, clipped wings, no other birds for company.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that parrot is NOT enjoying your petting. If you want your bird comfortable with you why don't you actually try giving it time with a little TRAINING instead of taking away what is a birds most unique skill. offer it food and treats when its relaxed, & don't pet them unless u know they like it . I have two parakeets who are very close to me, they come to me as if I, myself were a treat to them ^ . ^ but I still have'nt tried to pet them b/c they are birds NOT dogs

The reasons given for clipping here are completely irrelevant. Wing clipping does not "enhance your relationship with your pet bird." It simply immobilizes it so that people can impose whatever they want on it. In a way it's taking away what makes a bird a bird. I don't know why someone would get a bird that doesn't like how birds are. Also, clipping does not prevent a bird from escaping or getting injured. Responsible care by the owner does. Wing clipping is not a solution for these concerns.

@kiliparrot not everyone's situation allows for free flight. Sure you can say don't get a bird but it's too late so please know that clipping is a valid option and birds that are clipped can live full happy long lives. Please don't judge but allow everyone to make the choice that is right for them. Peace
DJdext 4 months ago
@DJdext Of course people are making a choice that they feel is right for themselves. The bird's health and well being isn't a consideration when clipping and I am completely aware of that. I just can't stand when people pretend like it's for the parrot's own good. They make it sound like it's something the parrot would want. The video suggests that clipping prevents escape or improves relationships but this is simply untrue regardless of the reason why people find flighted parrots inconvenient.
kiliparrot 4 months ago
@kiliparrot deep breath, relax. Freedom of choice right? Any reason 4 clipping is just as valid 4 not. Please don't vilify anyone. Allow people to come to their own decision. Funny enough I met someone who allows her birds to fly around her home. That's all. They never feel natural sunlight on their faces nor have they been properly socialized. I take my clipped bird everywhere the law allows and as often as possible so I wonder which one is better but if that's what's right for her then great
DJdext 4 months ago
@DJdext That makes no sense at all. I come across so much ignorance in people who keep parrots clipped. Clipping and taking a parrot outside have nothing to do with each other. Unless the parrot is reliably outdoor freeflight trained, it should have a carrier or harness outdoors clipped or not. So many clipped parrots end up flying off outdoors so clipping is not a safe solution for that either. People just don't understand cause/effect. Clipping doesn't solve much yet people do it anyway.
kiliparrot 4 months ago
@DJdext Freedom of choice???? Who's choice? Obviously it's not the parrot's choice. If it were the parrot's choice then a never clipped parrot could be asked to choose not to fly. Bet that never happens because flight is so natural for them. They are birds. Why would you want to take that away from them? Mine fly at home, spend time outside in an aviary, go for walks outdoors with me on harnesses, fly outdoors on harnesses, are very social, perform tricks, etc and all while not clipped.
kiliparrot 4 months ago
@kiliparrot my bird is cool with me clipping a wing. He knows the words no and stop it and can use them in context. so it makes me wonder why he doesn't use those words at that time. I have asked him if he wants to fly but I still have not gotten a response. So I cannot claim to know what he thinks either way. I wonder about show budgies that have been breed so that their beautiful feathers no longer allow them to fly. So just because they have wings they should be allowed to fly, period?
DJdext 4 months ago
@DJdext Just because your parrot doesn't resist wing clipping is no indicator that it understands the connection between clipping/flight nor that it has much choice. If it really wanted to just give up flight, then you could have not clipped its wings ever and just asked it to stop. Clipping is unhealthy and unnecessary if only people knew what they were doing. Don't mean to steal the thread, won't post anymore. I may write an article on my website on the subject if you wish to discuss it more.

danieluyanguren 4 months ago
@SimBeeful- Sorry, but I dissagree. To me, clipping is wrong. Why would you stop a bird from doing what it is supposed to do ...fly?? The feathers take upto 14 months to grow back & yes birds can get depressed and can pluck their feathers in pure frustration and depression. I've witnessed this for myself. You have obviously been lucky with your birds but I have seen birds birds peck themselves until they bled through depression. Not something I am prepared to risk. Good luck to you though.
Pookspoons 6 months ago 15
@Pookspoons yeah. depression if they've been flying for a few years and they get them clipped AND they have no toys. I have a 9 year old sun conure and a 1 year old one too. the nine year old has had freeflight all his life because a family friend owned him, but she gave him to us and I got his wings clipped. hes had his first toy when he was with me, and so, now enjoying the mental stimulation of toys,has not plucked a feather ONCE.
warofthewalruses 5 months ago
@Pookspoons Wrong wrong and wrong. First. Clipping may be morally wrong because you deny then flight but, look at it from this point of view. If I clip their wings, I can play with him, bond with him, train him, so he'll be entertained. If I leave his wings It'll be so hard to get his attention that I'd probably wouldn't bother to chase him around to have activities with him. So he would probably stay in the cage, where he can't fly anyway. So what's better?
Sithlordxxxx 4 months ago
@Sithlordxxxx So your bird only spends time with you because you clipped its wings and not because it actually likes you... what's the joy in that? My parrots can fly, they fly to me when I call them, they can do all kinds of tricks, they are super tame, they trust me, and they truly love spending time with me. I know because sometimes I can't keep them off of me. So what's better? Not clipping the wings and having a genuine relationship with the parrot based on trust, respect, and love.
kiliparrot 3 months ago
@kiliparrot Not everyone knows how to tame a parrot to that point w/o clipping their wings. I have 2 of them and the one Im trying to tame was simply not interested in our 'relationship' since he already have a friend and there was no way of teaching him anything, he would always fly away to his mate. I also didnt want to separate them so clipping did the trick. He can still fly a bit though, he can get to high points and landing is no problem. His wings will grow back in time.

@Pookspoons And it takes them 1-6 months depending of the time of the year you clip them. Not 14.
Sithlordxxxx 4 months ago
@Pookspoons Though people do have different opinions on this, I dont disagree OR agree. Clipping can of course prevent unwanted escapes, but it also needs its exercise. Clipping its wings can be a good thing if someone is trying to flight harness train their bird and so they don't try and fly off and meet the end of the harness painfully, the clipped wings will prevent that and the bird will know not to do that and the feathers will still grow back.
PrayerCreef 3 months ago
@Pookspoons Also, people that KNOW how to clipped their bird's wings properly should know that, even with clipped wings, a bird can still catch a good wind and fly off. Especially lighter birds like cockatiels, budgies, or conures. Leaving one or two feather fingers on them and they can still get pretty far. So clipping ALL the dominant flight feathers might be a bit too much, unless necessary. But clipping isnt WRONG as you might put it. what IS wrong, is breaking the wing at a young age---

@mysterygirlski I would advise if you have never done it before that you have a vet do it for the first time so you can watch how it is done and get extra pointers. When to clip the wings really depends on the bird and how fast the feathers grow. If he seems to be getting lift when he flies off the perch then it might be time. Your vet will be able to give you some advise on the timing also.

Feather clipping limits or completely eliminates birds' ability to fly, making them unable to escape from predators or other animals in the household or to avoid being stepped on or injured by their human caretakers.

Bullshit? Have you ever tried it? Have you seen a bird crying in woe of not having functional wings? No. Birds don't think like that. For them, flying is a means of transportation in the wild, nothing more. They think of things like safety and getting to food, and only after that do they think of mental stimulation. As an owner, you should provide all these things on a daily basis. And I have plenty of experience, after owning a cockatiel after over two years. Fix your grammar.

Thank you for being calm. I guess what we view as cruel varies with how we live. Trust me, I used to feel the same as you. I didn't clip my bird's wings because I thought it was the epitome of cruel.

I clipped him, and haven't noticed a change in his behavior, so I guess it's okay with him. Thanks again. :)

@Saphruikan I agree, the best thing to do is clip it's wings so it doesn't die flying into a window, or boiling water as you say. But what I'm thinking is, why have a bird in the first place? I had a dog, and he had an awesome life, long walks daily, loved, well fed, trips. I would love another dog, but I circumstances changed and I can't give a dog the quality of life it deserves. So I won't get another till I can. That's why I couldn't get a bird - flying outside is their quality of life?

Well, actually, I didn't choose getting a bird. He was a present for my twelfth birthday. I'm still really glad I got him. I know where you're coming from, but it's not like my bird isn't living to his extent. He can still get everywhere by asking me to take him there, and there's nowhere in my house he's missing. I actually think flying limits him, because his favorite pastime is going outside, and being able to fly away from me and not come back takes that away.
Saphruikan 1 year ago
@Saphruikan I said before that a day of freedom is better than a life time in someones house for a bird. I didn't mean that as a blanket statement. Each situation is specific and different. With your bird, I don't argue that the best place for his life is with you now. But I think the market for pet birds in general is not right. They should not be sold as home pets or farmed for sale in this way. As pets, its like dolphins kept in swimming pools - or a dog that only has a back yard. why buy 1.

I don't like the harvesting of wild birds either, but if they're handled with care instead of illegally smuggled, I'm fine with it.

Unfortunately, when a bird flies away, it rarely knows exactly where it flew from, and can't trace its way back easily at all, and gets lost.

People should get the terminology right - it's not clipping their wings - it's clipping their wing FEATHERS - it's just like getting a haircut if it's done properly. The feathers do grow back and the feathers have no nerves so it's painless - just be careful and only cut the tips of the feathers.

you just cut off half the feathers. They look nicer also. I have a Parakeet that goes jet mode when hes out of his cage. sucker cant go 120 mph in my room no more. dont take them to the petco or whatever they go into the nerves and screw it up. They dont know what they are doing.

I found a bird and someone told me clips the birds winds. I ended up cutting the bird's wings off, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that. My bird know longer has wings, and he's so sad.

@Aladdin1bird Yes birds fly, but there are alot of risks if they do, epecialy if the ceiling fan is on, when they are outside a predator could spot them. And for me ( i have a lovebird) I have read that if they fly its harder to train them because they feel the freedom of flying.

@Aladdin1bird
That doesn't work everywhere. For example we have hawks here, and cats and other animals that would snatch up any bird that we would let fly around outside. I used to have lovebirds and they all lived in a free flight aviary, but the ones I kept in the house had their wings clipped for safety.

Its okay to clip wings with a new or young bird, once the bird is trained and trusts you, you can allow the feathers to grow back and flight train. I have a Nanday with full wings, but will need to clip them due to him not trusting people and trying to fly away, he can hurt himself more so now. And cooking with a free bird in the room is stupid, that's asking for an accident. Its all personal opinion on this subject, there is no right or wrong.

it would be better to teach the bird to free fly and come on command then to actually clip its wings. im not saying it cruel or anything but i think it would like it better

you clip the wings train it and then i guess u could let the wings grow back. its pretty hard to keep a bird focused when it can fly anywhere. lovebirds crave training and human interaction so clipping their wings keeps them close to you

@zepol727 My bird is trained to come to me, but when he gets spooked, he just flies and doesnt care how much you call him. He gets scared easily :P

@zepol727 Considering some birds like Cockatiels prefer to walk, I would rather the bird have its wings clip and never have the chance that a larger bird scares them away and you never get your bird back or the bird gets put in danger.

I need help with MACAW wing clippings not small birds like that senegal parrot.
Dragonloverful 2 years ago
you probably need a second set of hands to do that,
D1E5ECT 2 years ago
Yeah, but once they grow back it's merely an inconvenience for you?
I dunno .. it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me owning a bird and not wanting it to fly. Not cruel, but sort of making a boring life for your bird if he already knew how to fly.

Sure, nothing is more beautiful than watching your bird fly, but nothing is more heartbreaking than watching it fly outside...
FlyItUpZero 2 years ago
No, there's nothing more heartbreaking than your bird falling in to a pot of boiling soup like a friend of mine's clipped sun conure did. Simple solution, shut the door.
Don't get me wrong, some of my birds are clipped, but only when recall training wasn't working because we have really high windows which they were perching up at, and we needed to be able to bond while these two were young. As soon as their feathers grow back we're starting the training again. Already had success with one :)

@psittacines a similar heart breaking thing happend to my baby parakeet, he was flying and landed in a bunch of pots breaking almost all the bones in his body he died because of that :(. and i had no door cuz the living room and almost every thing in the house is connected :/

sometimes if you dont clip them they will fly into doors and walls if the areas arent that open which most of the time houses arent.
