Is it wrong to trim a baby budgies toe nails?

If it is wrong, then why is it wrong to trim a baby budgies toe nails?

This is my answer to a question on Quora.

Editor’s note: Another answer about trimming a budgie’s toenails had advised against clipping their toes to avoid bloodshed.

By using a Rotary trimmer you can avoid cutting any birds nails to the quick by having total control in conjunction along with knowing proper restraint for small birds.

I consider myself to be somewhat influential in the avian niche.

Professionally I subscribe to a handful of YouTube channels with other avian influencers producing a huge amount of video content for channels with massive numbers of subscribers.

The apparent criteria for being a YouTube avian influencer is to “have birds”

Looking for an appropriate birdcage to house 2 Quaker parrot cagemates

Hi Rose,

I think this 3159 Select would be a great cage from Prevue.

The 36-inch wide footprint gives the birds ample room for separation if needed.

It provides the best of both worlds having a dome top for interior height and a play area for time outside the cage.

As you can see it has ample seed skirts

Indian Ringneck Love Brings Ringneck Problems

Indian ringnecks are marvelous birds and I’ve had the great fortune to live with the species in two different households.

They’re not big birds they weigh an average of 115 g about the body size of a Senegal or a fat cockatiel but the long tail gives the impression that it’s a much larger bird.

The overall length of the bird must be taken into consideration when choosing the right birdcage and especially the travel carrier.

They can be quite tame and are a relatively good talker.

Below you will find three curated questions about Indian ringnecks that found us one way or another and we felt sharing solutions would be helpful.

Egad, Ants Are in My Birds Cage & How the Heck Can Ants Be Good for a Bird?

Updated 4/2/19

Hi Mitch,

I wrote to you last year with my ant guard idea (below), but I improved it after that and thought I’d share my improvement of the scheme.

The cage legs in plastic sandwich bags inside cups of water eventually didn’t work.

The bags developed holes letting water in and causing the metal to begin to rust.

I then put the legs directly inside the cups, and put the cups into plastic tubs with water inside them. Ant moats 3.0, so to speak.

Question about Male Parakeet.

Every time I put my arm in the cage he attacks it, or he flies at me when I look in the cage.

My female looks depressed like she would rather he move out.

She used to be so happy.

I got her first, then him a couple of months after.

She would sing, and play with her toys.

I don’t know that there’s enough storage space on the Quora servers to answer this.

I read that parrots are loud, noisy, and messy – a lot.

Then again so are children.

Let’s start with a top-level explanation.

Pet people in the disciple category will always react negatively towards the word own preferring instead to call it pet bird companionship.

In reality, birds are the most owned pets we can have.

We have to lock them up in a bird jail.

Hi Kelly

Whereas most people are scared of heights, I am scared of widths.

To that point, call me crazy but I find that little box on Google plus is a bit narrow.

Plus (is that google speak?) I’m feeling rather chatty after taking a five-hour energy.
