Grooming
Ensuring your companion parrot wings are properly trimmed is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost,
safety, followed by keeping you, the owner, as the dominant member of the bird-human relationship, and finally
ensuring you're not the next person calling the local radio station looking for your beloved pet because it flew out
the door when your kids came home. This is a very common occurrence and certainly one that can be avoided.
Should birds that never go outside have their wings clipped? Absolutely, a fully flighted parrot in the house is
more acceptable to wing, head and leg injuries from crashes into doors, walls, ceiling fans, windows, mirrors, hot
stove elements, boiling water, toilets, and the list goes on. Unfortunately some of these injuries result in a
fatality.
Will clipping my bird's wings hurt my bird?
If the procedure is done correctly then there is no pain and if the bird is clipped evenly on both wings, he will
maintain a level of balanced, short distance flight should it be required.

Parrots for the most part are self-centered, with a "me first" mentality. Sharing your life with a parrot is a very
serious decision; one that should be made with much care and consideration. You should never buy a bird on impulse.
Put some thought into your decision, do some research, ask questions, read books, search the Internet.
