Should We Anesthetize Birds for Exams and Blunt Their Beaks?

FIRST OFF, Blunt Keto’s beak at the vet.
My vet is Scott McDonald, who puts all birds under gas for examination & grooming (STRESS FREEEEE).
His clinics are several per month in his Clarendon Hills home.
The best of the best.
SECOND: as with my 15y.o. Pionus, teach Ketto the difference between GOOD & BAD (or NO GOOD), by saying REPEATEDLY OVER & OVER AGAIN & AGAIN “Good Boy!”
Every single time Keto does something good.
