trimming nail advice

[Momo]

hello,

i saw many times how the vet trimmed momo's nail and i guess i can do it in home.

i will not cut his nail but just file it little bit because it grows very fast and i cant go to vet every week

it hurts so bad and always bleed my skin everytime he perching on my hand.

is it any advice how to do it better? my husband will wrap him with towel and im the one will file his nail.

thanks again!!

Once his nails are trimmed, if you give him a "pedicure perch" in his cage or even something like a flagstone perch, you really shouldn't need to trim much. Tucker's nails were like razors when I got him so we towelled him and did a quick trim job. He has two rough perches in his cage along with rope and natural branch perches. Just the little time he spends on the concrete or sand type perches keeps his nails nicely dulled.

I have all different perches. Sand... etc. Sophie the grey, trims herself. Kiki the Amazon, insists on going to the trimmer, and getting a "Spa treatment!" Every three months. She enjoys her nails and beak trimmed. Nancy
