clipping birds wings....?

a towel trick will do best that will cause less stress for your bird and less biting of hands. Have a towel covered all over him. You can do the same for nail trimming. My bird hates to be handled as well but love to perch on my finger.

Yes, I agree, with some birds this can be a stressful situation. Instead of her being out in the open while her wings are being clipped, hold her in a towel and have the vet stretch the wing out when clipping. She will get the feeling that she is under her mother's wing, and she will not stress as much.

I have done this with both of my birds (African Grey, Green Cheek Conure), and this works the best.

Good luck with everything!

I advise you to go to your local pet store and buy a clicker. Their very cheap. I think they run at about 2 or 3 dollars at most. But it seems to me your bird needs a bit more training. Clicker training is one of the best methods of training. When you train your bird, take it to a room where it is quiet and you are the only other person in the room. slowly move your finger close to touch the bird. Don't directly touch it at first. just keeping moving the finger closer slowly. when your conure tries looks at your finger and tries to avoid it quickly press the clicker. keep doing this and get closer every time. Eventually your bird will be comfortable with you and other people touching it. This will always help stop biting. Clicker training is the most efficient ways to tame birds.Your bird can always learn MANY other things by the same method. Please see the short video under the source below

NOTE: give the bird a small treat after every click. I recommend 1 or 2 bites of millet.

Firstly is you vet an avian vet? I'd check and see if they are. I've been with bird experts who don't recommend any clipping of a birds wings unless it to keep them from harm.
