Of my 3, Jody would go into a full blown attack mode stance. She has to be toweled and held by a second person. Being that I am single, that answers that.

Kalea is my little monkey who won't just sit still, she has to be in the middle of things and check things out and when I tried using the dremmel, I could not keep her beak/tongue safely away. I have those glass pedicure files but she could snap that in two before I could even get a No out. She sees you holding the nail clippers and you are not coming near her with those things.

Donovan, I have not even tried anything with him. He has a history of biting, that along with the fact that when he came here, anything he was unsure of he would turn his head, scream and hit with the beak. I am not risking all the progress we have made these past 3 years getting another bite from that guy, especially if he means to do a serious bite.

I don't like the concrete perches, too rough on the feet. The pumice perch that Dr Foster and Smith sells has the smooth top side so the tender skin is not getting sore there and that one works best on Jody. Takes a while for the needles to come back on her. Kalea and Donovan still need trims even with those but they still prolong the times.
