Poor birds. Imagine having a potential 50-year lifespan, living in a cage with clipped wings, and this is all you have to look forward to. At least in this case they get to have some time outside.

Imagine all that and not having this fun guy to do stuff outside with.

If this was real. It would be obvious that these birds are not clipped and do not spend their lives in cages.

You says it's not real?

Birds with clipped wings can still use them and flutter short distances. They just can’t meaningfully fly. The sentiment still holds regardless of whether Reddit videos are real.

How can you tell that they aren't flying well? I thought this video was nice because he wasn't just cooping them up.

But I have seen others where people have a big ol' set up in their yard so the birbs can freely fly
