Iory Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 My bird has a defective claw that has curled in on itself. Because of a failed attempt to cut it the bird is very aware and nervous of my intensions and can see a pair of cutters a mile off.. How do i now best restrain the bird to cut the claw. Would putting a hood over its head have tha same effect as in a Kestral or Hawk or should i get a friend with a small towel to hold the bird. It all sounds rather stressfull, does anyone have a way out. The claw must be cut as he is getting his leg caught up with cage toys because the curl act as a locking hook Philip Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyballs Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 expensive, and they can check it to make sure there isn`t any lasting problem. If you haven`t been to the vet for a while, it`d be a good excuse for a checkup at the same time. BTW, both of our vets use a towel as a restraint. (but very carefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 broken wing or suffocate. It would be a simple and cheap thing for a vet to do but only as long as it is an avian vet not a cat and dog vet who are mostly afraid of birds and are unable to handle them properly.
