@@Songlufia Why wing clipping is abuse. 1. Birds rely on their wings to keep themselves safe and can get some very bad physical injuries if they can’t fly. 2. Birds fly to keep themselves safe when they are scared, without wings they are vulnerable just like a baby chick. 3. Birds also get exercise from flying, without this they can get very sick or worse die. 4. Birds use their wings to fly about 50 times per hour. 5. Without their wings it causes more danger since birds don’t have their wings as a backup. 6. Flying is used to develop stomach muscles and without it they won’t be able to develop those muscles making them unfit. 7. When their feathers grow back they can’t instantly fly and will need to be rehabilitated. 8. Wing clipping can cause serious mental health problems causing your bird to feel scared, threatened, sad, depressed and confused, if the depression is severe enough they can die. 9. Frustrated by their inability to fly, clipped birds often develop psychological and behavioral problems, such as feather-plucking. Because clipping can cause irritation, birds will repeatedly pick at the feathers, which only causes more irritation and starts a vicious cycle. Let birds be birds. 10. It can take 6 - 18 months for their wings to grow back. 11. For most birds this could be a psychologically painful and traumatic experience. Furthermore, the stress can indirectly harm them physically by weakening their immune system. There is more but I don’t have time to write it all, lastly if the bird doesn’t suit you don’t buy it, birds have wings for a reason just like we have arms, don’t take away what makes them have a nice life for your connivence, the ONLY excuse to wing clipping is for MEDICAL reasons.
@@RubyRainbowsor you guys can stop buying them then the market will stop and they will be happy and free in their natural habitat like Gull, raven etc ...
@@koessi80Pet birds cannot survive in the wild and often get eaten by bigger birds like eagles. As a bird owner i have a HUGE cage for my budgie and he doesnt even stay in it 24/7 its only for sleeping in..he mostly flys around my room and such..they are not wild
I always let the cage open so they can fly whenever feel to do so. Most of birds just go out, take few room turns than return to cage where they were comfortable to stay. They love to explore, especialy Agapornis.
They have feelings, they have desires I know that animals can feel depression I’ve noticed that my cat was depressed once. Once someone connects with an animal they can feel each other. I only wish these people could connect with an animal only once to feel that they have emotions too
Sometimes, it's for medical reason -not in the case shown - but one of my friend birds had a broken wing, and they nip the feathers so it wouldn't worsen the heal period.
A pet bird should not be allowed out of its cage until you are 100% sure they have the ability to be recalled. Sometimes, cutting the flight feathers on one wing will allow it more freedom during the training process. Once trained, no, the feathers should not be clipped. The bird should be allowed to fly if it chooses.
@@Browniedownie7538 Not physically yes But what if you have wings and can fly But somebody just cuts your wings off What would you feel ? Birds are intelligent and can understand that I got a parrot who can’t fly he wants to fly to me all the time but he just scared cuz he did it multiple times and got hurted I can see his sadness when he tries to fly but just can’t…
@@Darth-Toastey it’s not sadness it’s confusion there’s a difference. They can still fly just not as much as they want to. That helps when you have a hyperactive mini helicopter flying around your room lol
@@Browniedownie7538 Only 5 feathers were cut from my parrot’s wing and he tried to fly a lot to me but every time he just falls and hurts himself and in the video all the feathers of the birds’s wings were cut + We all know that the fan is not a good option at all. If you have it, you can just turn it off until you take the bird to your room or waiting for him to enter the cage + You didn't answer my question for you
If you don't want a pet that barks don't get a dog. If you don't want a pet that has claws don't get a cat. If you don't want a pet that Flys don't get a bird. Us as humans don't have the right to surgically mutilate animals just to make them how we want them for us to own them. If you don't appreciate how the animal is, get a plushie. We should all ban together to try and stop debarking, declawing and wing clipping.
:/ all kind of animals have claws. your statement doesn’t make sense bc first: 1. there are TYPES of dogs that barely bark (certain breeds) or naturally mute dogs due to disability 2. all types of animals similar to cats (canine, feline) for example all have claws :p they just don’t scratch as much, besides cats need to cut their claws anyways cuz they can’t get too long. 3. I agree with the last one but wing clipping is permissible IF its for medical reasons. I understand what you’re trying to say tho.
@@infinitel00phole Whenever a bird is blind it may trip off of objects leading to danger when they take off due to having no sense of direction.Another example is how if it dose manage to escape people would know it is domesticated due to the clipped feathers and lack of timidity.
My bird got there wings clipped at the store and I did not notice until we got home,everyday she tries to fly but can’t 😭 EDIT:OMG MY NOTIFICATIONS ARE GOING CRAZY!!!
@@newbestofthis4422yes it grow back, when i was a child we bought a parrot which wings were cut. My mom just took out those cut feathers from base and after few days it grow new feathers. Though it’s painful for the bird but it was good for our bird. The cut feathers can never grow to the first shape you have to take it out from base.
They’ll grow back! But better make sure your bird has room to fly. Ours flies around a house very easily, but early on would have some pretty hard landings. I had to wait for her to be done and stand where she could land on me. Lol
Its a normal thing that bird owners do, those are their flight feathers and they grow back eventually, they do this to stop the bird from flying for awhile (its completely harmless to them and again they grow back)
@@reeeez2369This is a lot of misinformation. If you cut their wings wrong it can be super dangerous because they have blood feathers. Cutting also leads to so any other bad effects such as your bird becoming unable to develop strong lungs and heart, they get no proper exercise leading to even more health issues, and the feathers can take 6 to 18 months to even grow back with a chance of them not growing back at all. I’m not sure where you got your information from but it is very much harmful for them. (Edit: I’m adding this here because so many people are not reading my second comment and are angry just because I stated facts. PLEASE READ!!!)
@@Zamkuma That's why I said their flight feathers, not blood feathers. I have had many birds and we've always clipped their wings occasionally, and they're all lived perfectly healthy and long lives.
@@reeeez2369 Yes you said flight features but some people aren’t aware of the blood features at all and clip them anyways. Also your birds living long healthy lives isn’t the case for each bird that gets their wings clipped. Some even develop mental issues because the inability to fly.
No le corten sus plumitas a sus pájaros por alguna razón ellos las tienen larga las plumas (algunas.) Es como a ti te cortaran una pierna y no puedas caminar bien, es algo así con ellos pero con sus alitas.En realidad cuidenlos mucho❤
When my bird first came to me, its wings were taped, and at first, I was worried that they had been clipped. I felt a sense of responsibility to care for the bird and ensure its well-being. Seeing the bird struggle with its taped wings was a difficult experience, as I knew that flying is an essential behavior for birds. I was relieved when the bird managed to remove the tape and regain its ability to fly. This experience made me realize the importance of allowing birds the freedom to fulfill their natural behaviors, such as flying. I have since made it a priority to create an environment where my bird can exercise its wings and fly freely. I believe that providing birds with the opportunity to fly not only contributes to their physical health but also nurtures their mental well-being. It's a reminder that birds, like all living creatures, deserve to live a life that is as close to their natural state as possible. I have also taken the time to educate myself about proper bird care and behavior, ensuring that I am providing the best possible environment for my feathered friend. I am committed to promoting the well-being and happiness of my bird, and I hope to inspire others to consider the needs of their avian companions as well.
Hey. To anyone reading this, please only respond respectfully as I am still learning about birds and am trying to figure out what’s best for my parakeet as I only want it to be happy. A parakeet flew to me a few months ago and I bought a cage for it and stuff and was considering clipping its wings, only so it won’t fly into anything dangerous in my house. My biggest fear is that it would encounter some type of hazard. I have considered just letting her fly free and leave her cage outside for food and water in hopes that she will fly back whenever she gets hungry, thirsty or wants shelter. Honestly I don’t know what to do nor how to tell if she’s truly happy. I try not to have her in the cage all the time and let her out occasionally to fly around. She is not a trained bird so it’s not like I can just call her name and put her back into her cage when it’s time for me to leave the home. I’m not comfortable letting her fly in the house unsupervised because like I said; there may be hazards
Ohhh man, I completely agree with you! You said everything simply based on the facts. I can't express in words how much I agree with you. I want your text to be seen by as many people as possible!!!!❤
I also have a parrot...I don't cut her wings and have never kept it in cage..I have owned her since the day she was born..and it keeps flying around the house. And every day she go outside from the house for 2 hours of flying in the morning and evening...when I call her, she comes to my house...animals are loved so much that they themselves want to stay near you...Don't hurt them and keep them tied for your own happiness.
@@Hyunjins_HEARTEU.BETEUUU I don't go with her, she goes alone with her friends. Her friends come outside my house every morning and evening to pick her up.
@@user-ht2ug9kf4x you are also right But we should keep in mind that our reasons should not hurt our pet and they should not remain sad with us…we should keep in mind that they should always remain happy with us. May they not regret staying with us...
I raised a bird, and while I was teaching it to sing and dance and how to come to me, I was forced ( He clipped his wings but I tied them )I tied her with tape, and when she finishes each training, I take it off and do not put her in a cage so she can feel free. Now Cookie does not leave me and flies to me whenever he sees me, and I feel proud. Sorry, my language is bad.
I used to clip my birds wings but for a good reason. My bird wasn’t able to control herself when flying and would fly into windows, walls, and the ceiling resulting in her getting very hurt (broke her beak, started to bleed many times) because of this I started with clipping only a few feathers but that didn’t help at all, I ended up clipping all her wing feathers, taught her how to fly better and be cautious. Now she no longer needs clipped wings and can fly around the house freely without getting hurt. Edit: Can some people actually stop hating. Like bro, I never wanted to clip her wings but I HAD to or else she would have died. On top of all that she already came from a VERY abusive household (they kept 20+ cockatiels in 1 small cage) and I saved her (+2 other birds). If I ever thought of letting her outside I would basically be letting her die firstly because she's a cockatiel and these birds aren't native to where I live, secondly, she grew up in a cage and already had problems with flying as she was never taught to do so because of the lack of space in the cage, so letting her out would result in her being easy prey for predators. Lastly, for anyone saying that I shouldn't have had a bird in the house in the first place, I hate to break it to you but I will continue to adopt birds and care for them until the day I die as I love these animals and would love to care for them and give them loving homes for the rest of their life. Again, I never wanted to clip her wings, I HAD to clip them for medical reasons, and the type of wing clipping I had done was by vets who insisted on getting her wings clipped until she knew how to fly better. Her feathers grew back normally, she learned how to fly without getting hurt and can now fly around my house freely!
It bumps on window and wall because there is a window and wall blocking it's way. It's ok to have a pet but having a pet bird, I think birds have to fly freely
On top of that, if someone does clip a bird’s wings for whatever reason, you’re only meant to clip a few of the flight feathers, not the whole wing. My bird had her wings clipped before I got her (not my choice of course) but the person who did it only clipped a few so she could still flutter. Now her wings have grown back and she can fly again, and she’s so much happier.
Our parakeet didn't get his wings trimmed, he flew out of the front door. Probably starved or eaten. Birds don't know how to deal with life on their own.
@@thomasrechenmacher8093Then don't have your bird have access to the front door. They don't have to have access to the whole house, with how small a parakeet is, I'm sure it'd be happy flying around one large room. If you can't keep an eye on it well enough, then a bird's probably not the pet for you. That's not an excuse to cripple your pet.
There is an official reason as to why people do this, mostly Vets. When a bird Gets injured, them flying around runs a risk of them worsening the injury. Possibly even causing death. So they temporarily remove their ability to fly by clipping the ends of the wing feathers until the injury is fully healed. It happened with my step brothers love birds when one of the them were injured in a flying accident. They clipped the wings to prevent further injury.
@@alissonrodriguez1652 I clip my babies (or newly bought) just so they aren’t able to get lost and possibly hurt when getting used to the environment around them, other than that I don’t see a point with clipping them except the vet. Not to mention, I feel people who do that tend to not be patient with the birds and don’t want to worry about them escaping them as they don’t have a good relationship. it’s wrong and unfair
@@alissonrodriguez1652the place I get them from also does it when they get the new ones but cutting them after they grow back and are older is just a no
theres only one specific part of the wing that needs to be clipped to limit their flight and all they can really do it glide.. nobody should cut/trim the entire end of each wing it makes the bird loose its beauty from its wings and doesnt allow it to be the animal it was meant to be. And to top it off, if ur gonna own a bird be sure to have the space available for the bird to be comfortable and fly around safely..

There's nothing to do, people don't think about the reasons we have to clip their wings, if there's a small house, they'll be used near humans, they'll want to fly out of the house and end up hurting themselves, and yes There's nothing to do, people don't think about the reasons we have to clip their wings, if there's a small house, they'll be used near humans, they'll want to fly out of the house and end up hurting themselves, and yes, It has a limit to clip the wings.

Wing clipping is actually used if your bird is on medication or has other factors which affects its flying… clipping the wings is actually necessary in that situation so the bird wouldn’t hurt it self. (The feathers grow back for those who didn’t bother doing the research)
@@Ashley_Moif done by a professional it’s never the case….. it’s only animal abuse when it’s done incorrectly by uneducated parrot owners which is not “most of the time”…. Anyone who has owned a bird and at least did a bit of research before hand knows that this procedure is not permanent if you only cut the feathers which grow back after molting. If you know when your parrot molts you can even calculate how long it will not be able to fly.
@@Ashley_Mo and just do add I believe the owner of this channel didn’t bother doing the research either. Their videos on wing clipping basically all say “wing clipping = animal abuse” without any explanation or reason behind their video throwing everyone who used wing clipping in one pile of animal abusers… further sending misinformation that they were a victim of.
They can still fly even with their wings clipped, the difference is that they won't fly high or long distances, which protects them because a domestic animal won't survive on its own.
I got my bird with already clipped wings, when the finally grew back, he was a terrible flyer and couldn’t breathe well even after one flight, but now he’s getting so much better and can keep up his breathing ❤🎉
Если прица не ориентируется во время полёта, в таких случаях ей обрезают крылья. Чтобы она не разбилась ударившись о стену. Но это конечно стресс для птицы
Hey, my bird's wings were cut because I live in a very dangerous area. There are plenty of dogs and cats here, also we have dogs and cats in the house, so the bird can't roam freely outside of their room. In this case, is it fine?
@@NobleRaven if you can't take good care of a bird then don't get one! Birds are like cats and dogs they need food water a big cage etc. And you can't just get one to cut their wings. It is stressful for them and they are meant to fly.
@@Ale.is_a.MelanieMartinez.Fan16 It's my emotional support bird. I have dogs and cats but I'm scared of them and that bird is the only thing I have. I promise to take good care of it, but sadly I can't let it roam free.
people also clip the wings of chickens. if you want a bird that doesn't fly get an emu or rhea. if you want a bird that can fly but isn't as small and wont fly forever get a chicken or turkey
Suggesting that if u don’t want ur pet to fly then u could get a hamster, bunny or chinchilla bc these r close to birds as they r small, can learn tricks and some live in a cage
My bird crashes into mirrors, glass, and the walls when I let her out, maybe trimming her wings to keep her safe from getting a concussion isn't such a bad idea 😢
If your issue is glass or mirrors it’s not something to be too hung up on. If your willing and your parrot is willing try to train them that those things are there and act as walls. Let your parrot see that u can touch it, put something like a peace of paper over it so it sees the glass, hold them up to the glass and let them touch and feel it. Do this for some time and reward them for interacting with the glass (same with the mirror just not as much treats becaue they can’t tell it’s them and not another bird and you may have to deal with hormones if your not carful) but work with them and see if they start avoiding those areas, or put a window perch up for them to land on just in case. Take it by your parrots confurt level and speed and they should be safe to fly around again in no time! Never forget if there’s a solvable issue there are better RU-vidrs out there with actual good advise (flock talk is a great one!) and training videos that go really in-depth with each process. If there is a problem there is always a better solution! Parrots are super smart, so be creative and patient you’ll get them to do most of what you can come up with, and your parrot will love u more for it too! No shame in asking for vet advise either. Also In my experience (witch is close to 20 years at this point) from what I’ve seen on this channel is ok-ish advise at best. Yes there’s a lot of good but then he ends it with something I would never recommend anyone doing with there parrot. So if anything always be aware of the fact that u can never trust only one source! Always fact check! If u need more help I’ll be happy to show u some more resources to get you unstuck! Good luck and have fun!❤❤
No, maybe you should allow your bird to naturally get used to her enviornment. You can also cover mirrors. She will naturally learn what not to bump into if you give her time. Dont expect a toddler to learn how to walk on their first try. You monster.
На окнах должны быть шторы а зеркала завешены тканью когда вы выпускаете своего питомца полетать ,они не понимают разницы между воздухом,окном и зеркалом ,они думают что можно летать везде где прозрачно ) со временем он привыкнет и не будет никуда врезаться даже если зеркала открыты,только не трогайте крылья ,в них душа птицы
I have a macaw who came directly from Disney with some other birds that were confiscated. They were put on display for a show and if they didn’t do what the trainers wanted they were starved and dehydrated. Some went crazy mentally and also began plucking. My bird plucked most of his feathers on his chest and wings. He was taken to a shelter and then adopted out by another older family but then after a couple years they couldn’t take care of him so they gave him back. I had recently lost my sun conure (she died) so I was depressed. My dad had taken me to the sanctuary and I went and looked around and the macaw was the first to step on my shoulder by himself and even learned my name. I decided to adopt him and even though he’s plucked his feathers are starting to grow back and he’s living a good life.
I have a conure and i never cut off her feathers ......i never wanted a bird in a cage but she flew to us that is why i kept her ..she is true gift from the almighty ❤❤❤❤❤
Bro. l know birds fly and everything but sometimes bird owners doesn't have a bid friendly environment so he needs to clip the feathers. but on the way the video is doing. That is a wrong way. The way to clip a bird's wing is only cutting the flight feathers. Those grow back in no time.
@@Flour_doodDONT GET BIRDS THEN!? Wtf, dont get an animal if you dont have an animal friendly house, if you're getting a pet, ESPECIALLY when it's a pet that lives a LONG time, then you plan for a LONG life with that pet. This isn't things, you just dont clip wings at all, no frickin excuses
@@NathalieCwiekSwiercz expected to be a girl to say that. But well. l have one bird in my house. l clip his wings? Yes and no. not on a exaggerated way. l clip it on a way that the bird can sorta fly. When l say that l say it in a way that It can even fly to me. l just cut the flight feathers a little bit. When l say a little bit l mean cutting untill the half of it. It makes the birds not flee from your house. And really. If you never seen a domesticated bird when he is out in the wild. Those birds get killed quickly. Because those birds learned with their owners to not go full on with their instincts so they can get friendly with their owners. But on the wild that can make them die quickly. So that is why l dont make it fly like really fly. l make it be able to fly a bit. It wont take his freedom away that much and it will still be able to fly to other places around the house.
There is a big reason they do this. Its not animal abuse and they dont do it with bad intentions. Some birds fly recklessly and tend to hit a lot of things while flying. One bad hit and they would break their necks. Owners do it to pretect their birds from killing themselves by accident
I raise 2 birds and heard it's neccessary to prevent them from accident. But, if I were birds, I'd rather die by accident, than can't fly forever. I cut wings little bit, so it's little slow, but they can sitll fly very fast if they have goal(usually chasing my husbund). But, either way, I'm pretty sure they are happy. because cutting wings means birds are not stay in the cage 24 hours. They are happy birds.
@@lkate206 so you rather let your pet die a completely preventable death than to do the responsible thing? Btw cutting their wings doesn’t equate to them being stuck in a cage you can still let them out and depending on the cut they can still fly a little bit but not enough to be a danger to themselves
@@xgolfgirliexif they escape the house then an eagle or hawk could easily kill your bird in a second, that's why people trim their wings around here so they don't fly off and get eaten.
They cut their wings so they don’t escape from their Cage but I think humans shouldn’t do this imagine you were a bird and then they Cut your arms that will hurt ( just saying not meaning you’re bad )
@@Abbs_playsroblox ah yes, because using actual logic is a horrible thing in life. My bad, I'll cool it for you. Please don't ever cut their wings! It doesn't hurt them but it does prevent them from flying off into a much harsher world as smaller birds that don't live as long. African Greys, larger birds by a good margin than shown in this video live from 50-70 years and have many records of living to 80. But unfortunately in the wild they only live for an average of 23. I would hate for them to stay in a safe and loving environment. But let's say the bird is really smart and wouldn't ever leave! Isn't it just lovely when you have any other pets that see the fellow flying around and thinks "more food for me". Oh but then AGAIN! Maybe we don't have any pets or they are ALSO really trained. It's super great that after a bird gets an injury they keep flying and hurting themselves more, which is a common way for them to die because they become frantic. It's really weird how vets clip their wings when they have an injury to prevent further injury, but that's such animal abuse. Almost like putting a cast on them. Gross. I couldn't ever. These are all reasons why NOT to ever clip a bird's wings, even a little bit just to prevent them from hurting themselves. Of course they're meant to fly free and strain their entire life. I just know out there in the wild they're having a lot of fun getting sick, losing their babies, dying from depression due to lack of a partner or a flock members death, being killed by other animals, constantly in a harsh weather environment. My bad! This isn't a debate about if it's okay to keep them as pets, it's about if you should ever clip a bird's wings. Absolutely not. There's zero reason for this and it's only to have an "authentic pet". People are so horrible

I know that a clipping wings is not pretty to see but that isn't necessarily bad, some times is necessary. The wings cutting/clipping is for some purposes: adjust the fly to a veri specific environment (like a house interior full of things when it would crash); evite that the bird scape, because in liberty a domestic bird is a easy food, or the bird would become a invasor species. In the case of the video, it is a very, very wrong way to cut, obviously made by someone who don't know how and for what it have to make it, just like everyone in the comments, every time, the cut have be doing by a professional with experience.
My neighbors have two birds and they keep them locked in cages in a window with bars, they never leave there. Every day they look more and more dull...it breaks my heart💔
@@HSSP7417 that's not the proper care tho. People shouldn't have pets that they can't properly take care of. Food water and safety are NOT the only thing ANY pet needs. Every kind of pet needs more than that.
Well not exactly like removing your legs. I mean in the sense that clippin the wings doesn't hurt and amputating a leg does hurt. However flying is their main transportation as well as their main exercise so I'd rather see it as removing all bikes/cars/trains/planes and removing all sports clubs, gyms etc.
I don't understand idiots who clip the wings of their birds like chickens so that they don't fly! THESE ARE PARROTS, NOT CHICKENS! THEY MUST FLY! It's a part of their lives!
They’re such excellent fliers too. Watching them expertly maneuver my house is truly a blessing. It brings so much joy to my life having them free flighted
So true. Got my two lovebirds from a previous owner who was abusive. Clipped their wings and grandkids would throw them out the window from the third floor knowing they couldn't fly. Apparently they clipped even their main part of the wings so one of my bird can't grow back it's wings. But we trained them to just go back into their cage and it's so much more effective than having their wings clipped. Builds trust while also not making them insecure. It's so sad they remove a limb just so the bird can "obey" them. Humans are just so :((
@@ayyiramliriah5161 Exactly i have 2 budgies and when i first got them the woman asked me if she should clip their wings and i said yes (i didnt know it was abuse or anythink back then) and when i came home i did more research and found out, thankfully they both grew back their wings and i let them out their cage everyday and they sing alot :) i have a cat aswell i dont let them get to close to eachother but my cat id quite gentle with them

Clipping a bird's wing feathers is a common practice and can be done safely. It prevents them from flying away and getting lost. However, it's important to do it correctly and with care to avoid causing harm to the bird.
Wing clipping is the process of trimming a bird's primary wing feathers or remiges so that it is not fully flight-capable, until it moults, sheds the cut feathers and grows new ones. This procedure is usually carried out by avian veterinarians, breeders, or the bird's owners, and primarily on pet birds like parrots.
I know it almost seems cruel but my dad had a cockateil. He cut her wings until he thought she was "trained" not to leave the house. He let them grow back and she ended flying out the door. He cried for days.😢
I remember when I had a budgie when we were younger, we never used to clip his wings, we took him to the vet one day because he had a broken leg. She split his leg and then asked us if she would like us to trim his wings we looked at her and said no immediately the vet looked at us as if we had sprouted horns and asked us why we were refusing so quickly to have them trimmed when it would be easier to control our bird, we told her that our bird was trained for a recall, and that we had no reason to trim his wings when he was designed to fly it’s just like a dog just because you don’t want your dog to run away you don’t chop their legs off you train them for recall the same as a bird birds are incredibly smart and can learn recall.❤❤❤❤❤
I love you and your family, thank you for sharing. This video made me so sad, when I was little we had 2 birds, they always would fly around the house and mess with our cats. Ppl should not clip anything from their pets, not wings, tails ears or nails, it's wrong. You are absolutely correct, you just teach them just like anything else alive you take care of. Children and pets alike. This video is so sad and your comment is so valuable ❤️
Fun fact:birds are actualy dinosaurs like velociraptor and atrociraptors that evolved into modern day birds so next time you see a bird your really looking at a dinosaur🦖🦜🦖
I have a cat and I love him very much, and every time I play with him he hits me with his claws or nails, but I cannot give them to him because God Almighty created him like this and nothing is missing from him❤
Good for you, but not everyone wants to be clawed by their cat. “Don’t get a cat.@ oh then come and help us with our mouse problem. Of course my family no longer has a cat. I hope you never fix your cat. You can tell me how fixing your cat is different, but your God made them with reproductive organs.
the only reason you should ever clip their wings is if it's the only option to prevent possible injury, & even then it's only a temporary measure. clipping a bird's wings because you don't want them flying around is incredibly inhumane.
@@user-yf2vb2fr6e но ведь некоторым птицам нужно подрезать крылья, чтобы они не травмировались. Подрезают именно перья, так что это никак не вредит птице. Птицы, не умеющие нормально летать, врезаются в стены и окна, получают травмы и умирают от этого. Обычно, это временная мера и перья на крыльях отрастают заново. А вот если птичка продолжит вырезаться, она будет серьёзно травмирована. По-моему, выбор очевиден
I would like to say, the people in the video are clipping the wings wrong. When doing it right, you only clip one or two of the flight feathers. It doesn't hurt them, and it feels like a haircut. Many people have to clip their birds wings for different reasons. Some houses aren't safe for a bird to be free flight, and they would rather clip the wings and play with the bird than leave it alone in it's cage all day. Many people are strongly against clipping wings, they compare it to declawing a cat, but that hurts the cat and does irreversible damage. After clipping a bird wing, it grows back to normal in 3 months to a year. My bird in particular loves to go places. The park, the mall, you name it. She can't do that if she could get spooked and fly away. I've tried harness training her, it's just not something she likes. I've tried letting her wings grow out and she just stays at home, but she gets really depressed and upset when she cannot go places. This is a very unique situation, but in the end, after consulting veterinary professionals, it actually was her wings or her freedom. I implore you, do more research from places that don't immediately say it is right or wrong. Clipping a birds wings is a case to case scenario, and it depends on lots of factors like your environment. If it is not bird friendly, don't let them fly around to places they could get hurt or chew on something that could harm them. It's a matter of safety, and what's best for your situation. If you can have your birds free flight, absolutely do it! It's amazing! But it's not black and white, think about what's best for your bird. Remember, this doesn't hurt them, and if it doesn't work out then don't worry! It will grow back, and you can continue to explore other options. Clipping a birds wings in many cases isn't wrong, it's ensuring the birds safety and the opportunity to live a long and healthy life.
@@oppominni5579 bro its not about he getting a bird. bird is going to born and be in the petshop whether he buys it or not. trimming their wing doesnt mean they cant fly, it means they will have more stabilty when they are flying.
@jade962 no it doesn't 😂 That's like saying giving someone crutches makes them more stable when they walk. WRONG WRONG WRONG. -Clipping their wings limits their ability to land properly often resulting in keel bone injuries from slamming hard onto surfaces such as the floor. - Clipping their wings leads to muscle atrophy in the wings because of the lack of daily use and thus muscle wastage that if a bird has been long term clipped can actually lead to permanent inability to fly. Think of someone in a wheel chair who hasn't used their legs for months or even years they need to be slowly taught to walk again IF they are even able to regain that ability. (I.e car accidents degenerative diseases etc) - Clipping the wings is lazy and careless why get something that can fly is born to fly only to stop its ability to do so under the guise of safety? - Most clips like this one are done wrong. Leading to permanent damage or injuries. IF YOU NEED TO CLIP STICK WITH FISH. That's all you deserve. Leave the birds to the one's who respect and love them.
@@docbainl9504 Well said, I totally agree with you. I have four birds and it pleases me that they have full flight in my house. I could never clip a birds wings, it’s just so wrong.
@docbainl9504 Well, you're wrong on alot of parts. One, clipping their wings (not like the video cause that's the wrong way to clip wings) does not mean they can't fly. You're acting like that birds will never fly again. It just means they're not able to fly to extremely high places, like at the top of your ceiling fan. Doesn't mean they can't still fly. Two, why would birds just stop using their wings just because they're shorter? They're still going to fly just not as high. Again, you're acting like people are ripping the wings right off their bodies when it's litteraly just snipping the ends of their feathers. There is nothing wrong with clipping birds' wings so that they are at least safer. They still have the ability to fly while also staying safe ❤
!DİKKAT! Lütfen kuşlarınızın kanatlarını kesmeyin. Uçmasını istemiyorsanız almayın. Uçamadıkları için ve kanatları olmadığı için depresyona girebilir. Ve kuşunuz bu nedenle ölebilir ayrıca kanat kesimi kuşlar için çok zararlı olduklarından daha çok bakteriyer üretebilirler.
Birds dont walk or run with their wing feathers 😩 Clipping wing feathers and actual legs aint equally bad for intended purpose Also they can still fly, just not for long where it can harm the bird if it escapes
The bird can still fly, inside a house having the full wings is dangerous because they go too fast and can get seriously injured. The feathers regrow rapidly, it’s like cutting hair or nails, there are no nerve endings in those so they don’t feel anything. Our cockatiel almost died because we didn’t cut it’s feathers and he got out of the house when I opened the door. He flew away over another house and it took us 2 days to find it, and it was near freezing temps. If we had clipped it’s wings he wouldn’t have been able to fly so far.
I have never done this to my birds. They have all lived long lives, and it was so much fun watching them fly. My lovebirds were awesome flyers. I had one parakeet who could never land. I had to hold up my hand, and he would grab my fingers, lol
i never cutted my birds wings since he never flew away and hes trained. so i open the window most times so he can feel the wind. [ my cousin bought the bird for me and said hes trained][tysm for 19 likes :D- (62?! 😭 TYSMM)
FR, People don't think about the other side of the choices, we need to clip their wings in case the house is too small, they can fly away and end up hurting themselves, everyone has their reasons.
