Best type of clippers to trim a birds nails?
I’m having real problems clipping my birds nails, I cant seem to get a good pair of clippers to do the job, because their nails are so small. I have tried a “Pedi-perch” in the cage but they don’t use it. Does anyone have any tips on nail clipping and which clippers to use? And please don’t tell me to go to a vets, I’ve been shown how to do it by a vet, I’m just trying to get the hang of doing it myself.
I have (2) small parrots & I had several parakeets as well & all I’ve ever used is a large pair of (straight edged) toenail clippers. Just hold ea. toe & nip just the tips, (points). For the most part I don’t even clip them anymore so they can hold onto my shirt etc. without losing grip. It also makes it easier for them to hold onto their swings, perches etc.
