do they grow back?

Boo to people that do this.

I think pet birds should not have there wings clipped at all. It's in there nature to fly . And can lead to them trying to fly and hurting themselves.
-
@PurpleBananaGrape Yes, wing clipping is the same as demonstrated in this video for budgies, too. If you're really unsure, vets also have wing clipping sessions.

Clipping is done for the convienience of the "owner" and never the parrot. If you can't accomadate a flying creature (gliding is not flying) perhaps you should never have got a parrot. Owning a pet isn't a right. Look into training with positive reinforcement to open communication between human and bird before mutilating them. I don't care if they grow back, they'll just be clipped again. I have a flighted conure and if he couldn't fly he would be a changed bird, for the worse.

@RexPecker That is why you get it a travel cage or harness. Clipped or not you should NEVER have your parrot outside unrestrained unless trained.

@zzwhiteboitt none, he has those feathers for a reason.

@starluv2 you cut just like I showed. It makes the birds unable to fly far, that is correct. the feathers usually grow back anywhere from 1 to 4 months they will be full again, and need another clipping.
