Wow - that's morbid, ignorant, and not at all how you clip a bird!!! Actually you trim a small section of the feathers (avoiding the newer growing "blood feathers"). When done properly it's like getting your hair cut.

I wish my parrot danced. All he does is mimic my laugh and says "Shutup, idiot."

@dawyno Wow you were lucky.. Mine has gotten out once since then. We now live in England in the middle of town and he landed on the street. I was running down the middle of the street cause a car was coming and I was totally freaking out. When he flew off in Alaska his wings were clipped and you are correct about the better safe then sorry. Do Macaws make the dust like African Greys and Cockatoos? I am allergic to the dust. Thanks for answering my questions:D

@uri112189 mine dosent know she can fly! LOL
This was posted like a bazillion years ago but going to ask anyway and see if I get a response.. Did you make his perch yourself or did you buy it? It looks awesome. I don't clip my parrots wings but you commented that yours never learned to fly.. mine took a crash course in flying when we were outside in Alaska and something frightened him.... He flew off lucky I got him back but even with his wings clipped he could fly and I liked it better not to be clipped. I use a lead now when outside

Our jungle gym is homemade out of PVC and all 4 of our Macaws love to hang out on it. Indoors they're kept apart in seperate cages, but spring thru fall they get to hang out together in the backyard. At least one has flown FREE around the woods in the past (not clipped), but the others must have heard the terrible tale as they've decided it's best to stick close to home - even when given the chance. They all get clipped now, so it's not like any are vain about it. Better safe than sorry!

This bird was born in captivity (not wild-caught), so he never really learned to fly.
He's had opportunities (being outside without being clipped), but never tried. In general wild-caught birds often do like to fly, so clipping flight feathers is highly recommended when taking them outside.
