I've never cut tendons, i've only known people to have vets do it that way. I do however pinion my own birds.

Just curious, what's wrong with clipping them once a year? Tendon clipping should be a last resort.

Um when Egyptians live in a 4 acre horse pasture they arent the easiest things to catch and I dont like stressing them out all the time..
Also I have Egyptians with just their flight feathers all cut that can still fly..
I have some barnacles that have it done and it is awesome. They look perfectly normal but cant fly.

When you clip flight feathers, just do one side. They go in a circle, and quit trying.

I do.. Im not sure if tendon cutting would even work on them. Because I have seen pinioned Egyptians fly.. They have very powerful wings..
My pinioned Egyptians don't fly, or at least get off the ground. My Cranes however can do short low distances, I guess because they are not heavy birds. I'd like to know also about this, I've had tendons cut in my horses leg before. The vet made a small cut, reached in with a finger pulled out the tendon, cut a chunk off then put a stitch in the cut. I would imagine it would be similar....
