This is a question for people who choose to clip their parrot (or have them or continue having them clipped). What are the reasons for this? Would you ever consider not clipping them? Do you feel that you would lose control over your parrot if you didn't clip them?
And for everyone, what are the reasons for clipping. Is it exclusively for the convenience of the human host? Are there any reasons that do not have to do with the convenience of the human host? I'm really not trying to turn this into a clip vs. not clip debate but would rather get specific opinions that are pro wing trimming. I just want to see if we can get all the ideas for it down. So please, do not post anti wing clipping feedback here as we will have other topics for the other side.
So why clip a parrot?
