Pull the Trimmer Away From Your Bird’s Beak and Back Away From the Bird Mam
Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Mitch Rezman
Our economical bird nail trimmer has become very popular now that caged bird keepers realize how easy it is to trim their own bird’s nails while saving money at the same time. Make sure you know how to towel your bird to make nail trimming much easier.
Although we recommend using our electric nail trimmers to keep your bird’s nails trimmed, we do not recommend that you attempt to trim your bird’s beak.
It’s a sensitive organ and has a lot of sensory receptors and which could potentially be very painful to your bird if handled in the wrong way, which got me to thinking about today’s topic. Think – just slipping a 1/8 inch on the bird’s beak in the wrong direction can damage sensory cells (Herbst corpuscles).
