If you keep your parrot flightless (like a dropped stone), you must keep your parrot in its cage since this type of feather cutting is very dangerous to the health of your parrot should it attempt flight from height.
That is exactly the reason I learned how to clip myself. Our local pet store always clips all the flight feathers even when asked not to. When this was done to my TAG I was furious. I know a guy that use to work there and he said that was the owners policy on clipping. He then showed me how to do it properly so the bird can glide to the ground.
