Sorry, I don't believe that wing clipping calms birds down it makes them paranoid and more nippy. Because they cant escape any perceived danger. They're born with wings for a reason including balance. Also they can't get the exercise that they need especially Tiels who are prone to Lipomas.
Please reconsider not clipping again. Breeder birds are that way, that's what makes them good parents they are not "pet" type birds usually.
Also was it a vet office that did the clipping? Why would they have you open the cage, have the birds flying around and stress them out so much and use a NET?
I never heard of that ...a vet would have just reached in the cage and removed the birds. And when I had a pet store and did grooming I did the same thing. NO matter what type of bird even an Amazon or Macaw....
LOL clipping on the FLOOR? Yeah this person couldnt have been a vet. You just hold the bird even against your body. They will escape the floor OR a table if you don't hold them right.
I'm just saying this to let you know whoever that was doesnt really know about birds and is probably giving you some other not so good advise. I would avoid them in the future.
