Peanut's wings are clipped, but not radically. I like him to be able to fly from his house to the Finsterium (which is a big play gym for him), but I don't like it when he flies loops around the living room. Well, I do like it, but I also realize that my apartment really isn't bird safe, and he's so small he can get into trouble. If I weren't careful to the point of paranoia, I'd keep his wings more severely clipped, but as it is, he usually has the outer four flight feathers clipped on each wing.

When he first gets clipped (invariably a few weeks before he starts molting, and getting full-sized feathers back) he takes a bit of time to re-learn how to fly with this slight handicap. He can still fly level, and down, but he can't land as gracefully, and he has no lift. There have been a few magical moments when I realize he's about to fly to my head, but won't make it if I don't duck down a little. I've caught him every time.
