I don't suspect they routinely clip parakeet wings at the vaccine clinics which is the majority of the services offered at Petco. The grooming salons in Petco likely don't clip wings either. Some of the Vetco hospitals may clip wings. I recommend to call ahead and find out if this is offered and cost. Here is information for the Vetco vaccine clinics offered by Petco at: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/ Certainly call any hospitals in your area. You may also call the Petco and ask if they can get information about any upcoming Vetco vaccine clinics. They will have to then reach out the doctor who will be at the clinic to ask. An easier option may be to go online and good a bird veterinarian. Some of the Banfield Pet Hospitals may also offer this service but you will need to call and ask. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

    You can contact the local Petco and confirm they can clip wings. If not, have your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian clip the wings or show you how. If you've never done it, do not attempt it at home. You could injure your bird.
