Post: So here I am doing my nails...

Posted by KittyJ on 3/14/07

And Bokka runs across his cage and peers down at me, I
turn around and this big black beak and feather head is 6:
from my head. LOL. Whoo what a shock. I heard feet running
across the bars of the cage but didnt know he'd be 6" away
from my head in that short amount of time just to check if
I was going. He doesnt like clippers or nail filers. He
had very bad experience when he was back at his former
people's home. They would clip his nails with dog clippers
untill his nails would bleed, then run his feet under cold
water :( Also did the same to his beak, no semptic powder
or anything :( So now whenever I just barelly clip his
nails enough so they are not too pointy and overgrown, he
screams for each clip that nips away at his long nails.
Last night I clipped his nails, and didnt give in when he
would try and wiggle away or anything. I had to hold him
under the blanket. He was very patient though, though he
wanted to bite the clippers each time. But then I started
to file his toes after the clippings and he actually liked
it and I was ableto have him on my lapped while I file
down nails. lol. He is sucha cutie pants :D
