I have one tiel, she used to be very wild. When she came to me, she was too weak to fly, so she got used to me handling her. Even though I never tried to tame her, she is now strong enough to fly and doesn't mind being handled. Yeah, sometimes she takes flight off around the room, but once she settles down it's easy to pick her up again and handle her.

Even though it does make handling easier with a clipped bird, if you can handle the bird pretty well without clipped wings then other than satefy I don't see a reason to clip.
