What age should I clip a budgies wings?

If you are a breeder or pet shop going to sell budgies the best time to clip their wings is after they have fledged and learned to fly which is around the 8 week mark (6 wks minimum).  Some babies learn to fly sooner other later but do let them take their first flight and become acclimated to their wings before clipping.

If you are a pet owner your bird should already know how to fly and you can read the pros and cons about clipping. You can read this article To clip or not to clip?
