How do you stop bird flying away?

Have it's wings clipped. The first time, I would have someone who knows how do it. On the ends of the wings, depending on the species, you cut off between 1/4 to 1/3 of the feathers about 1/3 to 1/2 of the feather from the tip of the feather to the base. This lessons the amount of lift the bird can create and the best they can do is a controlled crash. The feathers will grow back and have to be clipped again in 4-6 months. If you cut too much off, you can get into the blood supply which is very serious in a bird. That is why you should have someone who know how do it. Also, the bird can resent it and that way it isn't mad at you.
