When can you clip a parrotlets wings?

Question

once they are born, how long does it take until you can clip their wings?(how old aprox)

Answer 1

Not until they are fully fledged.

Answer 2

once the wings in the back start to cross that means you should think about clipping them

Answer 3

My rule of thumb before clipping  ANY birds wings, (which I seldom due) is when they can properly fly and land  about a dozen times.  Then make sure you know which wings to clip and to only clip the first 5 to 7--no more. And do not believe that with clipped wings birds can't fly.  If they are strong, they'll still fly.

Answer 4

When they get most of there feathers they cant have and brown skin showing.

Answer 5

Not until after they are fully fledged.  I would wait for about three months after they are born.  It is safer for them to be able to get used to their wings.

Answer 6

Hello.

By 4 weeks old , most of the feathers grow out to cover their bodies . By 5 weeks old , they will learn to fly . I let them fly for a week or 2 , then I trim their wings because I don't want them to fly high and get hurt or hard to find them since they are so tiny . TM.

Answer 7

Don't try to cut there wings till the parakeet is a little older because that could cause a serious injury
