You want to have it done or do it yourself? You can clip feathers if you follow the steps below:
Find a good pair of scissors
Hold the bird with wing extended like a fan and find the flight feathers (those are the longest that extend out)
Find the cover feathers (those are the shorter ones on the wing but NOT the really short ones next to the bones)
Cut all of the flight feathers as close as you can to the cover feathers on both wings
Done and the bird is now flightless until it moults and grows replacement feathers (twice a year)
