I clipped my bird because I thought bonding would be easier, but it just turned out to be a huge mistake. I want to flight train her, but she won’t fly past a 1 inch distance. How can I help her learn to “fly” before she gets her wing feathers back?

Well, depending on the severity of the clip, they may not be able to fly until they get more flight feathers back, unfortunately

You can work on just target training but I don't think you can do any type of flight training until her feathers grow back in.
