BUDGIES+CLIPPED FEATHERS=???

[entrancedbymyGCC]

My vet actually says she sees more household accidents with small birds than big birds, FWIW. I think clipping is safer if you haven't been able to birdproof your house, but it does not completely eliminate the risk of flying away. If you have lost 3 budgies, that is an indication to me that something about your house setup is not conducive to having flighted birds. That said, you should have a travel cage anyway. They make some inexpensive ones especially for small birds which might work out well for you. Many people use cat or dog carriers depending on the size of the bird, and there are also fancy ones designed specifically for birds, but they tend to be quite expensive.
