  NSW Guidelines for the Pinioning of Birds | NSW Department of Primary Industries
The purpose of this document is to set out guidelines for the justification and humane method under which pinioning may occur in the exhibited animals industry.
for nervous species, such as pheasants, pinioning prevents a startled bird from flying rapidly upwards which could otherwise result in the bird injuring or killing itself by colliding with the framework of the enclosure roof.
Suitable candidates for pinioning are therefore those adapted primarily to a terrestrial existence, where the majority of time is spent on water or land feeding, resting or breeding.

 Mourne Game and Wildfowl Conservation Association
Pinioning Wildfowl breeders often wish to keep stock birds in open-topped pens, which makes it necessary to pinion or clip their wings.
The pinioning of adults is not recommended unless carried out by experts, but on downy ducklings the operation can be effected quickly and easily, the manus being removed with a pair of sharp nail scissors or, better still, an electric cauterising de-beaker.
Pinioning adult birds should not be undertaken in summer when the scar may attract flies, nor should it be done during feather re-growth (for example, after pulling the flight feathers), or during the moulting period when arteries in the wing distend considerably.
