Thank you so much for making this video! The bird stores usually push bird owners to clip the wings and beak and try to convince owners it's for the well being of the bird. Unfortunately a lot of bird owners trust them thinking they care but in reality it's all about money. We need to spread the word to save the birds from abuse and hopefully this practice becomes illegal in the U.S. Thank you again for trying to educate bird owners and we'll share this video with as many people as possible.

My African Grey and I grew up and were raised together from a young age and one of my fondest memories with him is seeing him fly towards me for the first time, down a hallway, with these big black excited eyes as he came towards me. He was kind of bobbing in the air on his first flight - it was adorable. I'm not someone who tears up easily in general, but I easily do when I recall that memory. Seeing how happy and excited he was to fly like that imprinted the feeling that every bird should be able to use their gift of flight, and I can't help but feel remorse for those who lose it. Not to mention, I love the feeling of having that same bird, now grown up, fly after and go on my shoulder every day. So yeah, thanks to those experiences and my beliefs that stem from them, anyone would be hard pressed to really convince me wing clipping is ever justifiable or good.

Thank you for this video. I watched this right after I had my two brand new (just picked up today) GCC’s fly around my whole house until they were tired and let me help them into their cage. My first bird is a female ecelectus who was found outside with ALL her feathers clipped. Her tail, ALL her flight, even her belly. It’s been a year and she still has 4-5 flight feathers that haven’t molted yet but she can now fly decently well. Then I heard of two 10-12 yr old green cheeks that were used for breeding their whole life and are not tame so I agreed to work with them. I was asked if they should re clip so I can handle easier when I got home and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT! As I opened their travel cage near the big cage I expected them to spook and they did. I calmly told them I won’t force them to step up they can do as they please. They flew all around terrified and after a few minutes they were both tired and stepped on my hand to be saved. The boy nipped but not even enough to draw blood and the girl didn’t even use her beak. It’s gonna be a long road for them but Unclipped they can get away from scary stuff!!!

I just got my first bird, thank you for this video! I didn’t know all of this and I was going to clip her wings but now I won’t!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I got my Quaker a year ago from a house that he was kept in a cage for the whole time they had him (he was only 2 😢) when I brought him home he was clumsy flying but I could tell how much he loved it. I’m on a Mimi video binge! ❤❤

Thank you so much I’m learning LOADSSSSS 🥰🙏🏼

Hope you're having a spiffy day! My birb Wybie and I would love to see more vlog like videos in the future perhaps :)

I suffered from this a lot. Unfortunately in my country we dont have this law, and most of the vets or dr. Dont really care about your pet bird, they would clip it and say its normal it will grow again. One stupid dr. Said its like clipping nails it will grow again and he laughed when i was worried about their mental state... really messed up. I remember my two pet got clipped by it previous owner and it was so sad to see them struggling around the environment. I had to protect them and wait until their wings grew back again. My male quaker lost a few toes cuz of his older owner or was he born like that? Im not really sure. Until this day its been 6 years and he's still a bit scared from other humans other than me. As for the female... god... SHE A MANACE 😹 literally bullyed me today by pulling my hair and waiting for me to scream 😭

Thanks you for this video. Just last week my bird, Bella crashed into a wall twice. I asked my mother if we could clip her wings for her safety no knowing that it was extremely unethical 🙏

U know i am still arguing someone in cmnts of another video that says that it's for well being so that our bird will not " Run away " , i have been saying again and again that it's just excuses for not doing hard work and just living in their comfort by clipping so that the bird will not fly. I don't know why people don't want to understand that it was done by people of decades ago because they didn't have resources but now we have so many things that can keep our bird safe and healthy, even taking them outside is an option nowdays AND then they reply that they don't have that living condition that they can by these things, SO I JUST TOLD THEM THAT U SHOULDN'T GET A BIRD OR ANY OTHER PET IF YOUR LIVING CONDITIONS ARE NOT GOOD AND IF U CAN'T PROVIDE YOUR PET A GOOD LIFE I mean isn't is one of the best things that your bird comes to flying towards u ☺️

hey, new bird owner here. so i just got this bird 2 weeks ago and taught him how to step up. what do i do next? do i train him to leave the cage, should i bond with him more, what are some tricks I should teach him, and how long should i train him everyday? I've researched and not really came up with a clear answer. thank you so much!

I'm only a novice bird owner, but I've had someone make the argument to me that keeping birds in captivity isn't natural, so clipping them is just another unnatural thing that's ok along with all the other unnatural things, and it really upset me. I do know that, ideally, we would all keep our birds in massive aviaries, but to me there's a huge difference in keeping a bird in captivity and deliberately mutilating it for your own convenience. And I've met some people who recommend wing clipping birds that are being dominant or biting, and that's equally as awful to me, to take away their ability to fly to make them submissive and dependent is definitely abuse IMO. One of the great pleasures I've had in owning my quaker is seeing him doing laps of the living room and swooping in front of my face for the sheer joy of flying, I could never, ever take that away from him

I will not ever clip my baby’s wings 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 anyway we have dogs they need to feel free and safe from the dogs 🙏🏼

There’s no reason to clip a bird’s wings,only excuses. A guy on Facebook told me there’s a right way to clip so birds just soar. 😂 Might as well just leave their wings alone. As mentioned previously, no reason just excuses.

AGREED. Stop DOING WHATEVER you want to your birb friends, or I will come and DO WHATEVER I want to YOU 🤬
