So i got Kiwi's wings clipped to keep it tame and what not because when the wings grow he is sooo mean and aggresive. Well This only works for about 3-4 days! Within a week of kiwi getting his wings clipped, he can STILL FLY!! Maybe my bird is ADHD but it is insane. I dont understand! I've watched the man clip the wings and i can assure you that he does a good job, kiwi just seems to have super powers or something.

Clipped birds can still fly to some extent when they have alot of adrenaline going and if they have alot of wing strength. I would say he's not doing loops around the room yes? I wouldnt get him clipped anymore than that.

The idea of getting a bird clipped is not to make it completely flightless, just to make it easier to handle.
