If you search on the internet for the phrase above, you will find many arguments for and against. Many people clip their birds to protect them from dangers such as glass windows and ceiling fans. Also, some birds can be trained more easily if clipped. But remember, a clipped bird cannot fly away from other household animals such as cats and dogs. Additionally, the benefit of exercise offers flighted birds a longer life than clipped. If this is your first bird, you might want to have your local breeder clip the bird initially so you can train him, then allow the wings to grow out as your bird becomes older.
