Re: Budgies
Gráinne Barrett When I was a child my father used to clip our budgie's wing. You spread open the wing and clip off about a third. If you clip both sides, the bird can still fly. With one wing clipped, the bird fly in circles.

Re: Budgies
Budgies are more reliant on flight to move around properly than bigger parrots and I don't recommend their wings be clipped for long periods, or they're likely to become very overweight.
