i tried that with my bird and it didnt work, but he wasnt traumatized when i wrapped him with super light and soft cloth, and i opened it to where i could get his paws, and i trimmed his nails without issues. he still trusts me and loves me, and he even gave me kisses after
It is necessary to explain what to do if you accidentally cut the nail too deep.The answer is to have "Kwik Stop" near so that if bleeding occurs you can apply this product with moistened cotton. Never attempt to cut a birds' nail unless you have the means to stop it from bleeding. I have a 17 year old umbrella cockatoo named "Captain Johnnie". When it is nail cutting time, he lies on his back and allows me to cut. He is a very spoiled bird but I never con him with treats. I can call him from across the room and he will come to me. I am totally in love with this little creature who wears suits and diapers and loves to go out to the jazz clubs. Everyone knows him. When the doorbell rings, he says:"Come on in" from atop my shoulder..
I agree I think he should have explained what to do if one accidently goes to deep and causes a bleed. Thank you for telling folks about Kwik Stop and how to use it.
Have you ever heard of a safety pumice perch? My galah loves that perch and it keeps her nails perfectly maintained. there is also a safety bamboo pumice perch. I can easily clip her nails with no stress to her, but I haven't needed to in a very long time. Your made a fantastic video, and smokey is gorgeous :)
Cbrillon91 The one I use is specific for birds and dogs. You could find pretty good ones on amazon.com. If you're uncomfortable clipping their claws, you could also file them with a nail filer, I have a video on that on my channel. I use sunflower as treats but you could use anything your bird likes. Good luck! :)
how long does it usually take for a birds nail to grow back? I have a red shouldered macaw and her quick got nipped. She bled ALOT but it's stopped for now thanks to the kwik stop powder. But when she picks at it she opens it back up and starts bleeding again. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! What can I do?!?!?!??? How long before her nail grows back to the point where she is safe?
How would I do this with a new bird. I just got a 3 month old 'Tiel and his flaws are very long. But he is still skittish about being touched in general. The is no way I can get near his road any time soon can you help me
How long will it take to get your bird used to touching his foot? How long should the training sessions be and is your bird ever to old to start this training method?
Do you use a cat clipper or a dog one? I just moved to a new area and have been looking into doing this myself. My grey is pretty good with me touching his toes, rubbing them, etc. Thanks for the video.
I'm worried about my parrots nails, I haven't had her for long and am still training her but her nails are beginning to be sharp to the point that it hurts when she 's on my arm. And they seem way too long as they're constantly getting caught in things, more so than before. I've been trying to get her to give me her feet but she doesn't get it and just tries to step up onto me or get me to scratch her. :( What do you suggest?
hey my parrot has three years and i can touch his head when asking him to do that but won't to step up on my hand and some times wanna bite me !! any advise please
My bird is a Crow...and doesn't like being handled much at all. He will sit on my hand or arm but I have not trained him...he won't go outside because of traumatic events during our attempts at releasing him...he enjoys living in the house so I have stopped forcing him outside, his nails are very long now though and he is biting them himself. I am sure he will allow me to clip them but I'm not sure how to. None of the petstores or vets nearby will deal with him as he's not considered a domestic animal...ridiculous, as I have him since a 3week old nestling in April, he's 9months old and been living with me voluntarily since. He was in an outside open shelter and never flew away..I tried to incorporate him into the local Crow pod but unfortunately they knocked him into a chimney , it nearly killed him and took a lot of time and expense for me to rescue him. I have left him to choose where he lives since . He is happy and healthy in all respects apart from his talons at the moment. ....UPDATE ; He allowed me to clip them which I did well , but just a little off until I know better what I'm doing with him. Little off often is better than hurting him.
+fiona cahill Look up how to restrain a bird - there are videos showing how. Then have a second person do the trimming. Have some styptic powder/quick stop on hand in case you trim too far up and it bleeds.
be careful with these clippers! It is designed for a dog and the area where the claw goes, is too deep for a parrot and will cause you to get into the quick and they will bleed. You can use this type of clipper, just don't put your parrots claws all the way in
in response to jettef1 yes birds are made to fly but in a home environment it isnt safe for them to be soaring through the air many birds cannot bank and turn in super tight places especially parrots they are not like swifts and hawks so clipping there wings actually keeps them safe however dont clip to much because they need to be able to flap and soften falls they may have lol i clip my birds wings it keeps her safe and they feel; secure as long as they are not constantly stressed
Pretty African Grey, ...yes, introduce us to your friend. Always neat to see a parrots interaction with their owners, Along with first getting your parrot used to your touching and holding their feet, you should have also first gotten them used to the look and sound of the clippers up close to them. Another thing...some detail why you don't want to make the mistake to trimming too high up, its affect and what to do if you do make this mistake would be helpful.
This is all great if your parrot is "willing" to have their talons trimmed. Sometimes "wrapped in a towel" is the reality that you both simply have to deal with.
R E A D T H I S It´s very important!!! "Let your bird fly-don't clip her wings Everything about a bird's physiology is designed for flight. They have wings, hollow bones, and specialized respiratory systems that allows them to use air differently than we do. Because they're prey species, they need flight as a means to feel safe and normal."

She's wonderfully behaved and obviously trusts you. Thanks for sharing!

Is that nail cutter specific for parrots? Also what are using for treats?
