Birds and long toe nails! Vet's hate them! I know! My vets call them talon's! I just read a post on Facebook of a fellow bird lover that was using a dremmel today to trim toe nails. I have one! But I don't use it. I would like to mention since I share so many pictures of my birds that I do keep there toe nails long. Basically just take tips off because they are sharp. Being I have aviary birds and use them nails to help grip perches when they fly to them I keep them long. I do believe nature intended for them to be that way. Now when you look at my pictures and see them "long nails" you might think about it differently.
