Never leave the kitchen when you have something hot on the stove. Make sure your curtain strings do not have lead in them and tie them up so the bird cannot strangle himself. Never leave chocolate or avocados out. Always close doors and windows. Do not cook with Teflon products near your bird, it can kill a bird if overheated.
Most people like to have their bird's wings clipped for the safety of the bird.
To clip a bird's wings, wrap the bird in a towel and make sure that your hands are out of the way of the beak. Turn the bird upside down in your hand and clip at an angle. Once you do it a few times it becomes easier, unless you have a very large bird who doesn't trust you at all. If it doesn't come easy for you then the veterinarian is your best option because the bird will become stressed if you take too long when clipping. Make sure you have q-tips and styptic powder on hand to stop bleeding if you accidentally cut a blood feather.
