5 year old swan

[luckyweisser69]

I am looking to sell my 5 year old breeder pair of swans but a guy who wants them wants them so they cant fly how can i clip my males wing he is the only one not clipped

My swans were pinioned when they were less than a week old, but I did find a link that gives some info on clipping flight feathers:

I would think they would need to be clipped every year.

I have heard about vets pinioning adult swans.

I always pinion in the 1st 3 days, and always only one wing. Older birds need to be trimmed on a regular basis or pinioned by the vet. Where are you located?
