Various books and pet stores have different opinions on clipping the
wings of parrots and other cage birds. This sounds like a topic that
should have generated heated discussion in the past. If so, does 
anyone have a summary? If not, feel free to comment. On general
principles, it seems a practice to avoid, but perhaps there are
convincing reasons.
