Flighted or Clipped

There is a big debate over clipping and not clipping. My birds are fully flighted and I would never clip their wings. Everyone has a right to their own opinion but I feel birds are meant to fly.

Lots of people clip the wings to tame them and let them grow back. I had a bird, Polsky (Indian Ringneck) and he was clipped by the breeder, he tried so hard to fly but couldn't. It was sad. But to each their own.


Before you clip take a look at these Web Sites.
