Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wing clipping is the process of trimming a bird’s primary wing feathers or remiges so that it is not fully flight-capable, until it moults, sheds the cut feathers and grows new ones.

Detailed explanation-2: -To hinder flight, you must trim the primary feathers. Some people choose to trim a varying number of the outermost ten primary feathers, but only the outermost five primary feathers need to be trimmed to prevent flight, in most cases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wings need to be clipped typically every 1-3 months after the start of a molt cycle, as new feathers grow back. However, every bird is different; some need clipping more often and some less.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thunder, lightning, rain and wind blew down many trees. A big, heavy branch hit their nest and the mother bird was killed. The strong wind blew away the two baby birds to the other side of the forest and were separated by a little distance.
