What's a semi?

Go stand in the middle of a freeway, and find out

It's similar to cutting your hair, only it prevents a bird from flying. If you've got a bird you keep in your house as a pet, it's way better for it to be clipped, because it's way less likely to hurt itself.

It just makes me sad that they won't be able to do what they were made to do-- fly.

the feathers grow back in a few weeks though. some owners do it for the safty of their bird. there's the risk of them flying into windows and breaking their necks or them flying away, so clipping a birds wings prevent that from happening.

I used to have a love bird, and we'd clip her wings so she wouldn't fly around the house when she wasn't in her cage. It's perfectly fine to clip a birds wings.

Okay, I've never heard of clipping wings. It is just cutting the feathers, right? you aren't cutting off the wing? (before you ask, I'm not troll. just ignorant)

Yes, just the feathers! Now come out from behind your anon mask and show yourself!

I can see why people find it sad, but I'm just neutral about it. I know plenty of bird owners with birds with natural wings and they've never had a tragedy, but I know other people who have had terrible incidents happen and understand all the points of wing clipping. So I see it as a person-to-person basis, if you think you need to clip your bird's wings for its safety then I'm not going to tell you not to.

I used to be against clipping wings but my pet bird flew out of a door that was left open. I was devastated and now I always clip my new birds wings.

I ask them to cut it to the point where he can safely fly to the ground and around his cage. Once he gets to the point that he can fly above us again, we trim them once again. It's a constant process but it's the only way, we feel, that he'll be safe and still have his pleasures of flying..
