Wing clipping is the process of trimming a bird's primary wing feathers or remiges so that it is not fully flight-capable, until it moults, sheds the cut feathers, and grows new ones. This procedure is usually carried out by avian veterinarians, breeders, or the bird's owners, and primarily on pet birds like parrots.
The Clearwing Skyblue is similar but with a blue body and white wings. The body colour is a little brighter in tone than the corresponding normal. [1] The wings and mask carry pale grey shadows of the normal markings and spots. In the best show birds these are quite faint, but nevertheless are still clearly visible.
The body colour of the Greywing variety is about half the intensity of the corresponding normal variety, and the wing, head and neck markings are similarly reduced in intensity from black to mid-grey. [1] The spots are grey and the cheek patches are pale violet. The tail feathers are grey with a bluish tinge.
Cut a piece of kitchen twine and tie the legs together at the drumstick ends. Take another piece of twine, loop it under the bird's body across the tucked wings, and tie securely.

The Anthracite budgerigar mutation is an extremely rare mutation that occurs in the budgerigar.The mutation, similar to the Violet budgerigar mutation, causes a difference in the coloring of budgerigars.
A rock dove nestling with visible pin feathers A budgie with pinfeathers from infancy. A pin feather is a developing feather on a bird. [1] This feather can grow as a new feather during the bird's infancy, or grow to replace one from moulting. The pin feather looks somewhat like a feather shaft.
The wildtype (natural-coloured or wild occurring) budgerigar's color is called Lightgreen. The feathers of most parrot species, including budgerigars, contain both a black type of melanin named eumelanin along with a basic yellow pigment named psittacofulvin (psittacin for short).
