Wing Clip


Are you considering getting your bird's wings clipped but unsure about the process? Let's dive into the details of our bird wing clipping service available in-store.

What is Bird Wing Clipping?

Bird wing clipping is a common practice that involves trimming the primary flight feathers of a bird's wings to prevent them from gaining height when attempting  flight. This procedure when performed correctly can help keep your feathered friend safe in your home. We neither condone nor condem this practice and will discuss in length whether your relationship with your bird will benefit from this practice.

Why Should You Consider Wing Clipping?

Wing clipping can be beneficial for both your bird's safety and your peace of mind. By limiting their ability to fly long distances, you can prevent accidents and escapes. Many consider it may help with training and bonding with your bird.

How Does the Service Work?

Our experienced staff will carefully trim the primary feathers of your bird's wings in a quick and painless procedure. The process is done with precision to ensure the right balance between flight and safety.

When is the Best Time to Clip Wings?

It is recommended to clip your bird's wings during their annual molt when new feathers are growing in. This ensures that the trimmed feathers will be replaced by new ones gradually, minimizing any discomfort for your bird. We also recommend leaving the procedure until the bird has gained confidence in their ability to fly, have developed a strong breast plate and that you are fully aware how to assist your birds confidence moving forward. 

What are the Benefits of Professional Wing Clipping?

Having your bird's wings clipped by a professional ensures that the procedure is done safely and correctly. Improper wing clipping can lead to injury or stress for your bird, so it's essential to trust the experts.

How Often Should Wing Clipping be Done?

Wing clipping is not a permanent solution and will need to be done regularly as the feathers grow back. Depending on the bird species and individual growth rate, wing clipping may be needed every few months to maintain the desired flight restriction.
