Hey guys,
It's coming up to that time again when Toki and Pickles need their claws trimmed. I've only had to do it once before, and although they were a little upset (they do get 'towelled' with an old T-shirt as they hate being held) it went ok. I tried to do it again the other day, and not only did I have to chase them a bit (I know, it's bad) but once held it wasn't long before they were panting very hard. The moment they started doing this, I let them go. I know I'm holding them properly as I've done this many times before with other birds.
I'm very reluctant to try again, but they do need those nails cut soon. Any advice for helping calm the little guys down?
Cheers guys
