Yes I do, and I feel its very important for their safety. My birds ALWAYS do something stupid and come close to hurting themselves when I delay the wing clipping, so for their safety, and for my peace of mind, I keep them clipped.

My birds fully trust me, but there is ALWAYS a danger of a pet bird getting out or crashing into windows and dying.......or flying into the kitchen and falling into a boiling pot. It happens too often, sadly. There are too many risks involved, and unless my birds were confined to a 100% bird safe room, I feel its absolutely necessary to clip their wings as a responsible pet owner. If my birds flew around the house, I would be getting a heart attack every time they took off. I don't feel they're deprived, as they don't show any interest in flying even when their wings are fully grown. They're scared of flying. Silly tiels.

I would NOT clip my birds' wings if I had dogs or cats in the house though. With other animals around, birds should be able to fly in case the other pets ever try to get their *paws* on them. In that case, its better to leave their wings unclipped.
