God decided it is okay to let your bird land on a stove or to fly off into the wild and starve … but what God really wants is for your beloved pet to fly off and be killed and eaten by a hawk, cat , or squashed by a car.
Back off with your bible …. Think with a practical insight for once.

In reply to Mo. Let's just hope that there are passages in the bible about environmental stewardship and animal welfare as well. Sticking to the facts, there are no consistent colour distinctions that can guide wing clipping.

In my opinion, if wing clipping was cruel, God would not have created them with identification colours, there’s a clear distinctive style between the 1st and 2nd flight feathers.
I let my birds sit on my finger and I snip the the primary lot as is. They still fly, they go outside to the trees and come back to the house, they don’t fly high enough to get over our wall but they have fun and were created by God for our companionship and entertainment.
There are just very few open minded people in the world. They should read the Bible book of Genesis and learn that God gave to man subjection of all animals

Never clip a bird’s wings. In fact this is illegal in Germany. And this is illegal for good reason. Don’t get a bird if you won’t let him fly. There are even birds who live on the ground, get these.
Also everybody who says it’s so that the bird will get tame more easily is just making excuses up for being a bad bird owner

In reply to O.

I understand you feel passionate about this, but please at least read the article before commenting.

The point, as stated, is not to remove a birds ability to fly, but to prevent full flying in an environment not suitable for them. To keep them from flying full speed into a wall or window, and killing them. The bird should still be able to fly, but short amounts as a glide.

I personally do not think people should do it unless they are in extremely specific circumstances; I think if people are not going to take the time to properly train their bird, then they should not get one; however I can respect the decision to do it, because our households are incredibly hazardous and their intent is to prevent them from harming themselves.
It is only harmful to the bird if done improperly; which is the point of this post; to make sure people DONT do it improperly.

In reply to O. Hi O. I certainly agree that it’s best we don’t clip wings although I’m not sure I agree that it causes internal organ problems. The aim here is to get people who are going to do it anyway to at least do it the better way to avoid injury.

DON’T TRIM THE BIRD WING FEATHER! They’re not toys! It’s their vital need!!! Trimming their feathers may cause other vital problems i.d. liver enlargement, heart disease, respiratory problems, etc.
People cause a lot of troubles with this malpractice!!!
