One more quick thing about clipping

Sorry, I forgot to mention this too. If your bird is dropping like a rock after he's had his wings clipped, then it wasn't done correctly. Only the first five to seven wing feathers should be clipped so that your bird can float down gracefully, but can't get lift. A good Avian Vet can teach you how to do this correctly. It is the safest way to protect your bird from injuring his breastbone and beak so he doesn't hit the floor (or something else) when he attempts to fly.
