is it true the smaller the bird, the more feisty they are and they hate to be petted....but the bigger the bird, the more it tends to be ok to pet it?

I have around 60 birds of all ages. I use pollys pastels. I never trim nails. Birds do not need to use them like cat scratch posts at all, they simply need to perch on them. As for them being hard on a birds feet, how do you suppose birds cope with hard old tree branches in the wild. My friend you are talking nonsense. >> Stay informed about: Claw clipping

Thanks all for the replies. I think I'll try the pollys pastel perch rather that than putting on my old motorbike gloves and attempting a DIY job. I know for sure my OWA wouldn't take too kindly to anyone attempting a claw cut and would no doubt bite. >> Stay informed about: Claw clipping

They are not meant to do an all out trimming. You'll need to get your birds nails trimmed, then use a PP perch to keep them that way. ZQ >> Stay informed about: Claw clipping

Place it as the highest or roosting perch. They come in a great range of shapes too. My U2 has a 'twister' whixh she loves, but you can get them as part of a swing too. IMO it is a safe and natural way to keep claws trimmed. >> Stay informed about: Claw clipping
