Re: Clip wing?
Posted by Debbie on 9/07/06

I would see what others say but here I would clip the wings
if they are pets for a few reasons.
1. I think it helps more when trying to handle/tame them
2. Just in case they happen to get loose they cant go far
(but you do have to watch them close around other animals
because the birds can be caught and killed too quick)

I dont think you have to seperate them if they are happy
together just handle both a few times each day and see how
it goes.
If they get loose (without the wings clipped) they can stave
to death because they are used to having food and water gave
to them.
And finally here I clip wings to keep my birds (parrots) off
of other birds cages to start trouble like some might like
to do.
