How to Trim Bird Nails

Before trimming your bird's nails, it's helpful to make sure your bird is comfortable with having her feet touched. Clipping your bird's nails on a regular basis can help prevent accidental breaking or tearing. Before clipping nails, it is a good idea to check with your avian veterinarian to see what is best for your bird. Thank you to Dr. Locke and staff at Hometown Animal Hospital in Sioux City, IA for demonstrating how to clip a bird's nail with a dremel. If you have bird health questions, call us at 800.829.2138.
