Ok so Aero was in chewy mood all day. The toy, the cage bars and the perch. So he started preening his feet for a long time and then I heard a crack. Could he be breaking his nails :(.

Ok I checked his nails, and they didn't break but they do have a white streak. Do you think he did it by mutitlaion or was it to remove dirt. I don't think it is boredom because he finally started playing with his toys. @Birdiemarie @Shade

Can you post a picture? When Ruby cleans her nails there is often noise involved. :)

I can't get close enough to Aero as he is flutter away. But it sounded like wood being broken. The nail looks normal. I don't know but I made him scared by approaching him for a picture, my bad.

If their nails start getting longer than they like they will quite often try to chew the tip off.

I think that maybe his nail was getting a bit long!

I also hear sounds like that when mine are grooming their nails. Not to worry.
