To wing clip or not to wing clip

[quackingdom]

Looks like you did a good job!

I’ll definitely see how they behave with one wing clipped, although the perfectionist in me will be a bit peeved at the asymmetry

Many people say to only clip one wing, but I actually prefer clipping both. With one wing clipped, if they try to fly, they'll crash land awkwardly. With both clipped, they're still balanced, so they won't crash land. However, it does mean that some ducks will still then be able to fly, so only clipping one wing tends to be more effective. But clipping both works for me, personally. I have a large yard, so I don't mind if they fly/flutter short distances.
