Question

Can I cut my birds nails? How can I? What do I need? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

Yes, but if you've never done it before then have your veterinarian or groomer show you how. Nails can be trimmed using small nail clippers for birds or cats. Trim just the points, avoiding the blood vessel (quick) within. Use a concrete perch or sanded perch wraps to maintain length.
