Haha I know what clipping is they can still fly when clipped like you just experienced your obviously new to birds I have lots of experience so obviously I would know what clipping does to a bird and its nothing to be proud of either.

Well my topic then.. I said I didn't want advice on weather to do it or not I asked on which feathers because I thought he did it wrong? I didn't ask about to get it done or not. I needed to do it for the safety of the bird

Yeah and thats why I was giving advice because birds should never be clipped for safety when there are other things that can be done with flighted birds to prevent them being hurt.And what do u mean you thought he did it wrong? He did do it wrong.

There is no right or wrong reason when it comes to clipping --everyone has their own opinions and reasons for doing it....I encourage you to quit badgering your fellow member.

Mango, please. Your last posts here are uncalled for. I'm sorry but your age and maturity level is showing again.

Surely you can understand WHY we do not tolerate argumentative posts. Instead of arguing or trying to prove yourself, just leave the thread to cool off when you feel like this. The OP was not attacking you, she was only pointing out what she had already said. I encourage you to stop this behavior on this forum.

Edit: Shirre, we were posting at the same time

Yeah I know everyone has their opinions but safety really is a bad reason for clipping especially people who clip so their birds cant fly away thats the most terrible reason there is to clip.

This is the last time I'll ever post in here. Honestly some people are disrespectful and MANGO if you can't see that then you need to sit and have a think because that's 4 people in total that have told you. If it was CRUEL then it would be in the RSPCA guidelines not to have it done which it isn't. I spoke to my like RSPCA and they said it isn't classed as cruelty or neglect. So that you for your input but I didn't ask for anything you told me...
