Parrot owners will mostly have the wings of their parrot trimmed so that the parrot cannot take flight and fly away. Trimming of parrot wings is a task that most owners don’t like to do themselves. The wings should only be ‘trimmed’ not cut off. A parrot is a bird when all is said and done, and birds fly! The pet parrot does need to have some means of moving around, but they don’t necessarily need to take full flight.

Most parrot owners will get a professional to trim the feathers of a parrot as it is a job that does need to be done with care so that there is no damage done to the wing itself.

A Baby Parrot.

For the safety of a young pet parrot, it should have its first three feathers trimmed a little, but it is important that it can still fly a little because it does need to learn to land on its fee. If the wings of the parrot are cut right back in the early years it may never learn to land properly on its feet and that could be quite harmful for the bird in the long run.

When a parrot is very young the first three feathers only are trimmed and then only have the usual length of a mature parrot’s trim. The purpose of trimming the wings of a very young parrot is so that it will not fly into windows or other objects and hurt itself.

Wings On A More Mature Parrot.

An adult parrot which is much stronger has its first five flight feathers trimmed so that it is hindered but not stopped from flying. He is now a stronger bird so he needs more feathers trimmed to stop him flying away.

The utmost care should be taken to ensure that the feathers are not trimmed too short and most definitely not shorter thant the parrot’s covert (the layer of feathers which protect their bases). Clipping of the feathers should mean that the feathers will grow out again, but if clipped too short it could mean that they will not regrow. If you are going to use a professional trimmer or vet who wants to cut below the cover, do stop them and find someone else. Make there is some discussion on this before taking the bird to be trimmed.

Usually a parrot will have its wings trimmed twice a year and this seems to be sufficient in most cases as regards the parrot care. This will allow the parrot to flutter around the house comfortably with having accidents or causing any accidents either.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
