Why don't you feel safe having him completely flighted?

So I clip my birds.
Just a reminder that even clipped birds can manage to fly outside if there is a strong enough gust of wind and something spooks them off.
Just making a general statement that clipping a bird is by no mean a certain way to keep a bird from being able to fly outside, this is not intended towards anyone in particular. I wrote this note in the event of someone not too familiar with birds would come by and find this thread.
Granted, a clipped bird might make it less far distance wise compared to a flighted bird given the same period of time.
