Hello again Shahid.
Wing clipping is a good thing to do if you want to let your bird have the run of the house.  It is also useful for taming/training purposes.
Here is a site that will explain in detail how to clip your bird's wings.

The closest site that I could find for your other question is the following URL.

I hope this helps.

God Bless.
