Wings clipped?
The breeder clipped Ace's wings but from what I can see, I believe he still has his flight feathers?
![]() The long ones on the end... aren't those the ones that need to be clipped? He is flying low around the house, he can fly from his cage to the table to eat our food lol.

Ace was given a "show clip", which means that the two outer flight feathers were left in tack, but the other flights were removed. The secondaries should be left alone.
You can see when Ace stretches his wings, or if you lift them open.

as monica said - a show clip
some birds can fly a little with those long primaries... would be a good thing to be careful
