Actually, it's not. when you clip a bird's wings, you don't actually cut the wing part, you just clip the flight feathers and it's just like cutting hair, it's painless. Owners do this for the safety of their bird so they don't fly away or crash into windows when flying around the house. The feathers grow back within a couple weeks so they can eventually fly again.

I have a bird, a Maximilian Pionus Parrot. She's 4 years old and I love her to pieces. I trim her wings because I like to take her outside with me in the summertime. She doesn't normally fly off my shoulder unless something scares her, but I wanna be safe just in case, because if I lost her I'd be really really REALLY sad. My mom is also an Avian vet and she TELLS people to trim birds wings. It doesn't hurt them at all. And it's safer. Why would a vet tell people to do something cruel? People that no way'd this are dumb. You know nothing about birds. Sorry, but it's true

I'm not sure if the "No way" people even know what it means to clip wings. I bet they think it means to completely remove the wings XD

When I got my parakeet, we had his wings clipped. It's because we had him out and played with him, We wanted to make sure he wouldn't fly into the cactus we had at the time, and so we could easily keep track of him.

I only NWd because birds scare me and I'd rather they fly away from me than have my friends try and put their bird on my shoulder and have me freak out with them still on me. :c

Yeah, I have two parakeets and I don't want them flying into the fireplace or getting stuck somewhere insanely high so we trim their wings. It's completely painless..
