yes you should do a wing clip if the bird is inside. Do not let your bird sit on your shoulder yet it needs to know ur boss. wait until you have this established and after the bird has gone through its bluffing stage. Train it with treats and reward the good dont scold the bad. this is what i have found to work!!

Please do not clip yourself, get a vet or a trained proffesional to do it for you!

If you make one little mistake your bird could bleed to death!!!!
