Do you mean he had a wing trim that cut his primary flights? You have to wait till he goes through his first big molt- adult molt, and it should be coming soon- for him to regain his flights so that you can start properly training him for flight. Until then, doing flapping exercises is a great beginning. Also gently standing one or two feet away from the bed and tossing the bird- GENTLY- on the bed will stimulate him to use his wings and get used to the sensation of flight.
