You don’t have to clip your birds wings you can just train them to be a flighted bird
Getting a cockatiel is a big responsibility and a big joy. You have to make sure your parents support your decision because you will need them to drive you and your birb for regular wing clippings and to obtain food. It cost us well under $200 for our cockatiel, his cage, a lot of toys, extra millet, and food. Perfect Parrot will trim birbs' wings at no charge when you purchase a birb from their store. If your parents say no, don't give up hope. It took my son 2 years of relentless asking to get a birb before we finally caved in. I wanted to make sure he was ready and, as a parent, I thought that 12 was a good age. Good luck buddy! I hope you get your 'tiel.
Hi! Usually whoever responses here doesn't work at the store. You should call there and tell them your story and maybe they can help you!
