It just really really depends on how much you want to risk it. Even with clipped wings, most birds learn how to glide.

Housing a bird in a different room is a perfect solution. My birds have the office to themselves so that the other animals in the house can't torment them. They love it because they can be out almost constantly(when supervised, of course. ) and I don't have to worry.
