how can I help my parrot keep his beak down?
I have a south american black headed caiqui parrot, but no matter what I put for him to keep his beak down he will not use! I have tried cuttlefish not interested, tried grot and nope wont use that either and the perch sand tubes! I have taken him to the vets to have it trimmed! Shall I just keep doing what she does just keep cutting it back or can someone suggest putting something in his cage he might use that I havnt heard of! cheers would appreciate some help, Hes not that easy to do with the cutters!
Haha! I LOVE Caiques! They are so much fun. The place I bought my Greenwing Macaw from has a pair of sisters (kept in separate cages, of course) named Mia and Bella. We call them the ADD twins. LOL
Anyway, what I notice with them is that they are very, very, very active birds. Maybe try putting some sand paper in the middle of their toys, like attatching them in there with all the shiny bells and whistles. Mia likes a particular toy that has cotton rope, acryllic pieces, beads, and bells. And, she’s forever rubbing her beak all over something. (Usually my hand! LOL) So, maybe if you try attaching the sandpaper to her toys…make it a fun thing.
If that doesn’t work, then I would just continue taking her to the vet. Rio, my Military Macaw want’s NOTHING to do with us doing his nails. And, they get sharp and it kills me. Most of the time I look like a foiled suicide attempter (ha!). So, instead of traumatizing him with me wrestling him down in a towel to do it, it’s just much happier for all of us if the vet does it. That way, he hates the vet and not me. LOL
