Hi there,

I want to attempt to clip Wembley's wings, to see if it calms down his aggression.

What is the most popular clip that people do for a Cockatiel?

How do I hold (or my helper does) the wings without danger of breaking bones?

A contact I have from a bird shop in Vancouver had this to say about holding wing safely:

'Hold the joint so that the wing is secure if it flaps. It is tricky but you need to support the whole wing at the joint.You MUST have 2 people to be absolutely safe.'

Carolyn:-)

It definitely is a lot easier with two people that's for sure.
