Is wing clipping parrots necessary?
Background
Owners who clip wings usually want to prevent escapes through open windows, crashes into glass, and to make early handling easier. Others argue flight is a bird's main exercise and stress outlet, so the better path is bird-proofing the home and letting them fly. Since clipped feathers regrow after a moult, many treat it as a case-by-case choice.
