Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 26 days old
Hi there, my 3 month old budgie is due for his very first nail trim soon and he hates being touched on his back and front or even being picked up so I know this might stress him out a lot. I was wondering what I could do after the vet visit that would calm him down and make him feel safe again?

Unfortunately there is nothing you can after, but only before and during nail clipping. Reinforce positive attitude with treats (so if he stays quiet during clipping) is the key.
