Do these look clipped?

First of all, please don't turn this into one of those clip/don't clip debates. I just have a question.

I have a computer game in which you can get scarlet macaws and sulphur-crested cockatoos.

However, they always stay on their perches and never get off or anything. Just out of curiosity, do the wings on these birds look clipped or not?
Thanks!!

If I had to guess (100% guess) I would say they are not clipped but I can't really tell...

is that the Sims?

Clipped

I vote not clipped - the wings seem in proportion to the overall body size.

Are you wondering cause it seems to be the norm in America?

they don't look clipped.... they just look like the wings are not stretched all the way out.

Yes glider this is The Sims. How did you know?

Homebird- I'm not sure if I would call it the norm, but from what I've seen and heard it does seem like a common practice.

NOT clipping wings is common practice in the US? Tell that to my birds for the last 15yrs.

Thought you didn't want a debate?

the computer birds created by somebody who saw the pics in a book and copied them look full flighted.

I'd say those Sims don't clip.

very funny - or at least i think it is, as i wouldn't want my ass-ide to be the beginning of a misunderstanding!
It is more common than in Europe for example - or at least that is the perception. ...... I guess i should try & stay away from generalizations & perceptions via influence from what i'm reading .....
