Small birds are known for being able to fly even with clipped feathers - so clipping is NEVER a guarantee that they will never escape and fly away because the slightest wind gust will aid in their flight ability. The responsibility falls onto you to make the house safe for flight.

Too drastic of a wing clip can be dangerous because the bird can be at risk for falling and injuring the beak or keel bone.
