Biting nails

[luvgrey]

Our three year old AG had his beak and nails trimmed about 2-3 weeks ago by a vet. About a week now we have noticed he is constantly picking at his nails. I called the vet and he was to call back - guess what???? no call yet. Could there be some reason for this behavior that I should know about? I clean his many pirches with vinegar and water - he has all kinds of pirches, even a java tree. Otherwise he seems happy and is eating well. I even checked for the three colored poo and that is fine. He is not a big vegtable and fruit eater tho - I give him apples, yams, mixed vegtables, broccoli, potatoes, rye bread and anything else he will eat willingly. Thank you so much for any info you might be able to give us - we worry about our animals like they are our children. These birds can be sick and us not know it until too late we have heard. Our vet just lost his 35 yr. old AG - it had a throat tumor. So, even the doctor couldn't save his beloved pet - too sick before he was aware of it. Thanks!!!!!

I think he is trying to sharpen them up after they were trimmed off, they need fairly sharp talons to be able to climb and cling to things.
