BUdgie's wing trimming question.?

I cut my budgie's wings.the first 4-5 outer feathers. But now she flies and it makes a funny sound. She lands a bit with a thud...I dont understand. I didnt cut their glide feathers and I didnt cut too much. Dont say ''you're evil you should go to a vet.'' Im just wondering. any tips?
Answers:
It sounds like you trimmed her a little bit too much, they shouldn't be landing with a thud. They should be able to 'fly' enough so that they don't fall miserably to the floor. It's fine for now, don't worry to much. Just try not to let her fall from heights too often and she should be fine.
You did it right.
you did it perfectly fine, its just, i cut my budies wings all the time, and the reason why she/he lands with a thud was because she uses she feathers (the ones most people cut off)
to land without smacking their bodies.And the funny sound is no ab-normal, she/hes flapping her wings faster than he/she normaly does. She/he is just fine, it will just take him/her some time to get used to, thats all.
Don't clip their wings, it's pointless and you could do more damage than good. If you wanted an animal that didn't fly you shouldn't have got a bird.
