Somebirdy needs a good shaming....

If they're bonded, they will mourn their loss. Is there a way that you could work out a deal to take them both rather than to have them separated? I'm thinking about their well-being as a bonded pair.

This is spot on!

Attitude is a Conure's right.

I can see no shame on that innocent face, besides I am certain he believes he has added value with his custom carving.🏰

It is unlikely that they are a pair at this age, they may be siblings. Hard to know what to advise you as i believe meeting the birds before making a decision as one bird may be more comfortable with you then the other. The birds often select their own humans.

I think that your sign is shame enough!

Yep, it's our naughty Huey. Now shame him, he deserves it 😂

I saw this on a FB group and thought of you when I saw Huey's name. Didn't realize that it actually WAS your Huey!

I see Huey tried to chew the note as well! 😂

Yep, sounds like a crappy wing clip. It will take a few months to grow back but they really do love to fly. Just safe-guard your exits and they'll love you for it.

I would not advise doing this just for a nail trim. Is the vet experienced with birds or an avian specialist? If not, that may be why they are making that recommendation. Alfie was gassed by a vet once so they could help with his beak (it was growing longer on one side and causing the beak to grow out wonky). They gassed him and sorted the beak but Alfie was sick after the procedure and very dazed/out of it from the gas for a good few hours. I found another vet who is further away but obviously has a lot more experience with birds, as he is able to handle Alfie a lot better, with a lot less stress and most importantly- no gas. I have never been back to that first vet and always travel the extra distance to see the vet that I trust. I would personally seek a second opinion from another vet who is used to handling/treating birds. The risk and stress isn't worth it for a nail trim. It should be achievable with an experience hand and a towel. If you have any doubts about the care being provided by a vet then you are better to walk away and find another vet. It's always important to be able to trust the person giving care to your beloved pets.
