If you own a pet bird then you’re going to need to know how or at least how often to trim your bird’s nails. You can always contact your local vets Niagara Falls ON and ask for help or schedule an appointment for your vet to trim your bird’s nails. Birds need their nails trimmed to avoid having them become so long that they are painful or could get caught in something. How often you trim you bird’s nails depends greatly on the breed of bird you have. Generally, the bird’s nails are too long if the toe is elevated off the ground when the feet are placed on a flat surface. If you’re going to trim at home, make sure you have all of the appropriate tools. Your area pet store should care appropriate trimmers. Follow your vet’s trimming instructions and don’t hesitate to call for assistance.
