No they should not have their wings clipped. They are beautiful birds, and they have feelings. We as humans wouldn't like it if we had to get cut in the arm, because we had to be in a certain place. If we were birds, we would care as much as birds do, because birds mean a lot to me, and i am one of the people who actually loves creatures like that, and actually study them on my own time. Some people just don't care about birds like that. It's unbelievable how they have to clip birds' wings because their caged. What does that mean? What does that do? How does that help in any way of society? If that's the case, they should just kill any uncaged animals! That just isn't right, and they really shouldn't.
People should realize that birds have feelings, and they should care for them. If someone clipped a bird's wing, and they liked birds, that isn't do them a favor. That's damaging their wings, and that's cruel. It's the same as illegal dog fighting. Your hurting that precious bird. Children have birds as pets, and you don't go seeing people clipping their wings! That's because they like them, and actually care for them. And it doesn't make a difference whether you like birds or not, it's not your free will to go around clipping their wings.
I personally don't have a bird as a pet, because I think that they should be kept in the wild, because they aren't really made to be tamed animals. I think so, that's my opinion. I have no problem with people having birds as pets though, because they just shows me that they have love for that animal, and it shows the poor bird, that people do love it's own kind, and they aren't the only ones alone in this battle to survive. When people clip their arms, it makes it harder to fly. That's why it is not good for people to do that kind of stuff.
Please, I hope that no one would ever do anything like that to a creature so pure and beautiful. Clipping birds' wings are also explaining that birds are just meaningless. And that is not true at all. For anyone that's reading this article, please agree with me, because if you think that birds are meaningless, uncared for, and stupid, I at least hope that you don't grow up to clip their wings. Really think about it. Please help them. Thank you very, very much for reading my article, because you know that it means a lot to me, and YOU.
