Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Lucky is a handsome bird! I recommend searching for your closet veterinarian who sees exotic pets such as cockatoos. They will be the most experienced with handling birds in a safe and low stress manner, and know how to appropriately trim his claw. I hope this is helpful!
