Wing clipping is simply clipping a bird's flight wings so that it is unable to fly. Don't worry, if doesn't hurt the bird at all! Clipping the wings of a pet bird assures it's safety in a house. In other words, it prevent the bird from flying into dangerous places.

The diet would use for your parakeet is a good quality cockatiel mix; also a separate bowl for millet, millet sprays, greens and egg food. I also give mine willow & fruit tree branches especially when budding for the birds to chew on.

Hope I helped! Good Luck with your new little friend! ^^ I'm sure you'll enjoy him when he's tame.
