Veterinarians and parrot behavioral experts say companion parrots live longer and have far fewer accidents when their wing feathers are clipped. Most parrot parents discover that trimming the feathers twice a year provides this protection.

Wing feathers grow out only after they’re shed. It may seem obvious, but trimming features should be performed symmetrically. In this way, you help your parrot retain his balance.
