The dreaded "to clip or not-to-clip" debate: Do you clip your birds' wings or let them remain fully-flighted? Do you have specific reasons to back up your choice, or is it just a matter of your preference?
I used to let them remain fully-flighted, but that's how I lost my cockatiel: the front door opened, and he flew through the house, right out the door, in a matter of seconds. Since then, I have kept my birds' wings clipped, but I haven't lately.
In fact, all of my birds (with the exception of Linden) are currently fully-flighted. None of them take advantage of this though; they don't fly unless they are startled.
What's your view? :shrug:
