How do you do this?
The time has come and it needs to be done.
Thanks!

In my humble opinion, wouldn't hurt to call and ask what the cost would be. If it's close to wellness check time, maybe do both at the same time?So should I see if my get will do it?
Really? They lay down for it?Have the vet teach you how, if he/ she will. I do my birds nails , they're so good about it. Just lay on they're back, trim, trim,,were done! Always have quick stop powder close, just in case.
So do you use clipper or Dremel?I do my own ...way easier then driving an hour both ways and the stress of it all ...just the stress of toweling at home and 5 mins nail trimming and its all done ...they are a lil put out but lots of praise during and treats afterward and they forgive me
I think they use a Dremel on my zons.I take my birds to the pet shop or vets to have it done, but I have also done it myself. I use nail clippers, and I just take off the very tip. It's definitely helpful if you can have someone else hold the bird.
I doubt that I ever accomplish that..... but tips on how you did that would be greatly appreciated.We have trained Henry to hold up his foot so we can trim his nails.
Impressive!We let Henry play with the nail cutters first. Then I held him while other family member would hold his foot and cut his talons. At first it was a bit of a struggle but over time he stopped struggling and watched. Then we reached the stage were we could put him on the table, again let him play with the nail cutters. But this time we just held his foot while we cut his talons. Now He just sits there and watches us cut his talons.
