::How often do you all go have your cockatoo's nails trimmed?
Do you use a regular large emory board that we would use or do you use a certain kind for birds? Did you start when they were babies? I think I might try it because it gets too expensive at the vets. I've tried using the dog nail trimmers on her once, but she went crazy and I didn't think it was a good idea to keep trying. The emory board might not be quite as scary to her though. Then do you take them to the vet for their beak? Thanks for the info :)
Seems like we no more than get them trimmed by the vet and they're digging into us again. That's so expensive! Also, is there a certain time of the year that they will grow out quicker? Was thinking maybe if there is, we just somehow get them trimmed just before their season to grow faster>???? Just a thought??? Thanks :)
:We trim nails ourselves. Both my umbies like a large emory board. Ingrid will even hold her foot out when she sees the emory board! When nails start feeling sharp, out comes the emory board, but it doesn't seem to be very often...a variety of different types of wood perches does seem to help.
