how do you clip a bird's wings so it cannot fly?
<|assistant|>
The most common way of clipping a bird's wings so it cannot fly is to snip the first joint of each of its primary flight feathers. This will reduce the bird’s ability to fly but will not disable it. Some birds, such as parrots, are more suited to being kept as pets and can be safely transported in an enclosed cage, without the need to clip their wings.
