African gray parrot how to cut nails congo points? I am haveing an African Grey Congo baby parrot.He is very playful, but the problem is that I can not take my hand, as it is to have your nails very strong and they tell me I too.as herts been bleeding for some time.
then tell me plzz .. how to cut the nail points of my baby parrot?
If a young bird, then this should be done by someone with experience, a veterinarian, an owner with the know-how or a good pet store, then you can see how this is done, is a simple task, but in the wrong hands (so to speak) a lot of damage can be done.
It can be done with a good pair of nail clippers, just off only the tip of the Right, but until you've seen it done better, try the above.
Because birds have blood vessels in the nails, nail clipping should be done by someone with experience. A veterinarian or a groomer birds can usually count on him to do a good job. If the blood vessel is cut, while cutting the nail, the bleeding must be stopped immediately. There hemostatic powder that will stop the bleeding, but the whole procedure should be done by someone with experience. In addition, you can buy perches for parrots concrete designed to help keep their nails cut. These documents are available in most pet stores.
Hello you could even clip, but since you have no experience doing this try to classify them ... What I do try, but if it did not work for you, take him to the vet about 35.00 to do his nails at least here thats what it costs .. Good luck
My claws timneh's get razor sharp, and I take the advice of ordinary nail clippers (make it less painful on the arm). You need a towel and the first bird is a good idea to have an assistant to manage the feet. You do not want to hurt your little package of love, simply because he does not like what is happening. : D
Do a toe at a time and catch the tip of the claw of the mower if you do not remove the sharp edges (use magnifying glasses, if necessary.) When you are finished, release your Grey and the rent for the establishment of this violence "horrific" dignity. It will be less reluctant, the next time he gets a lot of love and after each milking in the towel.
Enjoy! :)
