Thats the thing with birds who have there wings clipped it makes training easier as the birds depend on there owner to get around so this help them bond better and learn quicker.

Congrats and hope you have hours of fun training him

haha i wouldnt say it makes it easier.. probably more like possible LOL haha... thanks for all of your on going support mike its been greatly appriciated... do you let your birds wings grow back in after it is tame or is it better to keep them clipped... i feel like the bird is SO much safer with clipped wings...

I usually keep mine clipped, One of my pairs of cockatiels i do not have clipped since they were tamed.

It depends on the individual owner as to what they think is best, If you feel better them being clipped then keep them clipped.

There feathers will grow back in during every molt which is usually every couple of months.
