Thanks for reaching out. The best method to try and prevent flying is to trim the flight feathers on both sides. The flight feathers are the outside 10 feathers on the wing called the "primaries". There are probably videos on youtube to show how. Some birds with clipped wings can still fly a little, especially if there is a breeze at their backs. You still must be aware of open window or doors, ceiling fans, etc. The down side of trimmed wings, it is less exercise for birds. Most bird owners just have to figure out which is best for their birds and situation. Good luck.
