Was my first thought as well. Certainly doesn’t look like it can fly

They prolly clipped his wings to keep him from accidently flying too far away
suzerod63
They clip them so they cannot fly away.
Taxicat
Or into a window. Or a ceiling fan. Or get stuck in a tree and have no idea how to get back home.

We've clipped our birds just enough for them to fly around the house. It costs them more effort to stay in the air so they stay fit
NirvanaNik
They clip them for various reasons.
vudak
Clipped wings sadly.
Muffinburgler
Not sad at all, it keeps the bird safe. Imagine if it got spooked and took off, or hit a window.

Sadly? I don't know anything about bird stuff. Is this a cruel thing to do?

It’s like clipping nails really. Some birds are ok with it. Mine gets angrier when his wings are clipped so we leave them alone.

It's not directly harmful, but if you get a bird you should flight train them. That way they can fly from danger but won't fly away forever.

I don't know either, but it feels like declawing a cat. The bird's not a bird if it can't fly.

It’s not. Declawing is surgery; clipped wings are a haircut.

Fuck these people keeping that animal as a pet….parrots live a century and this one will probably be abandoned, like most are.

These love on average 35-55 years, though some can live up to 70. (Turquoise-fronted amazon). I don't hate people taking care of parrots. >

But it is a commitment that can end up multigenerational and people should consider it as they get older.

I'll be inheriting my dad's parrot. He's made a provision for it in his will, with a contingency plan if anything happens to me.
That's a great friend to the bird. My grandpa used to raise several species of bird as his hobby, and he did the same with them all but >
instead with his friend who had the same hobby and affection for birds. No parrots, but lots and lots of canaries around the farms.
