Since she' been flighted for so long (it has been awhile since she was last clipped, right?), she still has the muscles in her wings. Just clip them a little shorter this time than you normally would, and then in future clips you should be able to just clip her normally.

Well, here's the thing...I clip her on a normal basis...When she grows new feathers, I do let her fly around for 2 or so weeks, then clip...just so she can maintain her flight muscles. I will try a little shorter, but i don't wanna BUTCHER her wings. Thanks Em!
