Hello-
I've seen many bird owners use nail filers, will that work too?
Yes you could try but if the nails are excessively long they should be clipped first and then filed.
What does it mean when a cocktail hangs by his beak
This is so informative, thank you! I'm going to pick up some chewing blocks for my birds today, I always gave my birds cuttlebone and never knew that alone doesn't help beak maintenance
I nvr knew either! Thougjt that was enough! Good thing my bird happen to have wood toys coincidentally..
I am so glad my budgie trimmed his own nails!
You have so many beautiful birds! So many rare ones especially the colors, so exciting!
😂 your cockatiel hissed at you!
3:10 They look like budgies 😍
There Rosie bourkes I have 4 :)
I'm so happy to have you back! thanks for the advice.
Yay!! Recently been needing this info & glad you'll be posting soon! 😃
Thank you for your video's away look forward to them. Have learned so much just watching. Love ❤ your new bird room !
Aw, your babies are adorable :)
Thank you for this video! It is extremely helpful for my daughter's parakeets.
I love all your videos!! They are all so informative and helpful! :)
I always enjoy your videos and learn so much from you. Thank you taking the time to make these videos
Glad you enjoy my videos. Have a nice evening 😃
Definitely never get too close to the quick!! Since they'll be naturally filling them on some perches!
Sometimes perches don't help. Most birds are very sedate in home settings so their nails grow to long and need to be clipped.
My birds are super active! We have 25 budgies 🤩. We let them out of the cages in turns. It's healthy for them to be active.
Very very helpful!
That was a great video thank you . I was wondering if there nails had a quick similar to that of a dog and now I know . Great info thanks
Glad I watched this video. Now I know that I certainly should not clip the nails on my 4 parakeets (budgies) that I recently adopted from a rescue shelter; have never done it before. Will seek a bird vet or bird groomer to do the clipping. Also, it was great that you pointed out that the birds need a chew block to keep their beaks in shape; I thought the cuttlebone was sufficient, but now I know otherwise. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I use a bird nail trimmer, but I must say your comment about using a normal nail trimmer for more control was well taken. When they are comfortable with you, they will literally put the whole talon in the trimmer! You need to back it out! With care, no one bled and all 3 of them were very happy to have a trim. LESS IS BETTER! One Bird Per Day. Care Care Care. And they will all smile. My English budgie was enjoying a large diameter perch the next day!
Woooooo!! I wonder how many people will be here when its premiering
I hope a lot
Yea lol
Thank you so much for this video! I took over the care of my friend's Lord Derby's parakeet cause they couldn't handle it and wanted to get rid of it. I never thought of getting a bird before, but I just fell in love with the little dude so I took him in. I've been scouring the web for informative videos for proper care and came across your channel when I noticed his nails getting a little too long and was worried he'd start getting caught in things. I'll be sure to get them trimmed asap (I wasn't sure before if the nails would get trimmed naturally from rough perches). Either way, thank you so so much!
Your welcome! Enjoy your new feathered friend 😀
1:53 me when someone tickles my neck
Great video!
Thanks
Thank you this helped me a lot
thank you for sharing your videos
Lovely.
Thank u for the video. Super helpful
CUTE birds 😀😆😆
Wow very beautiful
Needed this video, going to see it later
I trim my birds beaks and nails. You just showed me that I am doing good with the nails, so I really appreciate it. For the beaks, I use to have two, a lennie for the top part and a parotlet for the bottom part. M'y langue does not have This problem anymore. Your video on beaks is for a serious misalignenent. Poor thing. So thx as always and waiting for your next one.
Thank you for sharing with us. Been doing all my animals for years now, some get use to it others not. Some pet stores sell sandpaper you but on their perches to keep nails short. That is a big no no. They can rub the skin under their toes raw and can cause blisters or even an abscess.
You are right about the sandpaper, imagine having to walk on that? I don't know why they sell it.
What a cute love bird you have! I've never heard of a "Bork" (sp?) parrot, cool! And your lime-green dudgies (or is it lemon yellow?), wow! Nice birds!
Rosey Bourke
Very useful, thanks!
Your welcome!
I love Rosies😍
One of my budgies bottom beak started to over grow, so we took her to a small room and carefully trimmed her bottom beak, though the bottom beak seems to still stick out, even when me and my mom trimmed it. Anyways, thanks for the advice!
Yay can't wait
TFS.. Great info💜
Good thing our birds been good peak wise!
But i hate trimming the nails!! 😭 i cut them but just a bit so i domt cut basically by the blood stream. Basically i cut only the tip that it looks like i need to cut more but thats where i leave it. Lol
im going to get more chewing toys for my birds!
Great video! You mentioned “click click” sounds. Does that mean the bird is having trouble breathing or something to do with the lung or heart? I did noticed that during a few times when my Mango was in a panic mode and he was in flight, he will emit something between a squeaking and clicking sounds . Then it quickly stops as soon as he lands. I wonder if that’s the same clicking sound as you were describing. For my Mango to be in flight and panic mode, I believe it might be an exercised induced asthma.
The clicking is from their respiratory system.
I can't wait😪😪😱😱❣️❣️
Thank very much it help me but just got bird and go to vet get his feet done
Appreciate this video. I am trying to begin cutting our 7 budgie's nails. I'm mostly trying to get comfortable restraining them and taking little snips of the nails. Is it normal for a budgie to start to close it's eyes when restrained. To clarify the budgie does not seem sleepy as it's agitated from being restrained. However, on it's back and getting nails clipped they often start to close their eyes. Thanks
I have no avain vets near me what should I do I have a bourke nothing is wrong with him but I am worried dont you have to do regular check up?
Would you be able to do this with a bird that is slightly larger, like a green cheek conure? One of mine will probably let me do this without murdering my fingers, but I have an extremely feisty one that I wouldn't feel comfortable without a towel in my hand!
when ever i need to trime my parakeets nails or beace i will go to the vet NO MATTER WHAT because the parakeet i have right now is my 2th one because i didn't know how to take care of my first one and he died.. but i dont want my 2th parakeet to die so i will take her to the vet and when she does it will be her first time at the vet! :)
الله اكبر. بسم الله سبحان الله العضيم. سبحان الله وبحمده. لالآه الا الله محمد رسول الله♥️🌹
Hi and thanks for your efforts with your videos. Could you do a video on how to catch the canaries and with minimal stress to the bird if in a large flight cage. I have enjoyed all your videos and I have 3 budgies and 2 canaries and 1parrotlet. Hope you and your flock are all well, happy holidays!
Happy Holidays! I will try but catching them is very stressful
I agree and thus the request. Maybe a video without actually doing it so as to not stress your babies. But perhaps you could discuss techniques, like do you try it in dim light? I am scared I will stress out my canary, but I have a hen that really needs her nails trimmed.
I don't turn down the light as it's more frightening for them to feel my hand on them while resting. I take everything out of the cage and basically try to catch them, I wait until they go into a corner and then pick them up
Great video but next time can u show how u trim ur medium sized parrots nails because I have two Indian ringnecks and it's a little hard to trim their nails
I've never been able hold my Love Birds, I wish I could do I could trim their nails?
Hi. My lovebird has develop upside down nail which is sharp and like long needle upward.. Her eggs just hatched. What can i do with it? Iam worried if its some kind of disease or might hurt babies? Will it go on its on? Thanks
What are the little salmon coloured birds, are they budgies or are they bigger it's hard to tell, there so beautiful.
Hi, they are rosey bourke parakeets 😀
My tiel has to get a beak trim often, however he has always needed it, as he has a beak disability thanks to his previous owners breaking the bottom part completely in half permanently
how do you know the owner did that, and it wasn't just born with that disability
Could you make a video on cutting cockatiel nails? My cockatiel has dark nails and I’d love to see how you do your cockatiel nails.
I will try my best to make a video on clipping a Cockatiels nails.
Love of Pets Awesome! Also I am a total fan!
@@Loveofpets please make this happen…
your senegal's lower mandible needs trimming ... the beak should close without a gap ... do you also trim their lower mandibles yourself?
Hi, I don't trim her beak myself but she goes to the vets. I noticed that when she was young and the vet said not to worry about it as it's just the way she is. The vet trims both lower and upper if needed.
I wet my baby nails before I trim
That was great! I'm worried that holding my very trusting young cockatiel like that though will damage his trust. Will it?
It will for a little while. Give him a few hours and then his trust again.
@@Loveofpets We've trimmed Lui's nails many times sense first watching this video, and we're now very used to the process together. Afterwards, Lui runs right back onto my shoulder, and preens like nothing unusual has happened. Thanks for this video! Question: What is the link for the chewing block shown in the video?
I think Lui's beak is perfectly fine, but I can't tell if maybe her beak is minutely longer than I'd like it to be. She chews on lots of things, but not a lot of hard objects. So I'd like to get her a chewing block like yours in the video. But all the options are mineral supplements. I don't want to give her a supplement she doesn't need, just a fun toy to chew on. Any advice?
2:20 - sorry, just to clarify - you say "..they're not curved.." but they look curved to me? At what point does their natural curve become "too" curved?
Thanks for this video.
:-)
Hi. If the nails are more curved like a semi circle or curve too much where they can't grasp perches or they can't place their foot on a flat surface comfortably. Their toes should touch the surface on flat surfaces and not be Crocker or bent upwards. Hope this helps.
Can you do another updated video on your fish, hamster, and dogs?
Sure, I will soon.
@@Loveofpets Thank you!!
I think that was jack I saw 🤗
Yes Jack was in the video.
@@Loveofpets ahh love to Jack 😚🤗
How often should I take my birds in to get their nails trimmed how often should I take them to just get a regular check-up in general
Have two parakeets
Hey quick question can I cut my cockatiels nails with a human nail clip?
Yes you can.
I subscribe to you to see Jack!!!😚😁
how do birds in nature get their nails taken care of?
Birds in nature are always foraging and digging and on different surfaces to keep nails short however some wild birds nails can grow excessively long and get caught in trees etc and die while struggling to get out. I have seen a bird that was deceased hanging from a wire with his nail stuck. Some people will rescue wild birds like myself and bring to a wildlife center where they can help them with their nails. Wild birds have a hard life and only the fitess survive. Luckily we can clip our pet bird nails
how can I find a pink/red budgie?
Search on bourke parakeet Facebook groups. Search online for bourke breeders or ask your local pet store
Is Electra fine? She looks ill.
Its how my parrot looked when he was dying...
Electra is perfectly fine and she is still alive since making this video. She is nervous of me and the camera. She only likes men.
Thanks for your concern.
aww, i’m sorry for your pet.. she will always be loved 💕✨🦋
My birds won't touch cuttle bone. Do you have any tips to convince them to try it? I have a lovebird and two linnies.
The cuttlebones are not strong enough to trim the beak and are for calcium. If your birds are females and lay eggs they will need calcium. You can scrap the cuttlebone and put a small amount on top of their food. For beak trimming put harder mineral blocks and wooden toys to chew on. Place them near a Perch where they can reach it. You can try putting a piece of millet spray beside the cuttlebone or blocks and they may start to chew on the cuttlebone and blocks.
@@Loveofpets My lovebird is a female, not laying eggs fortunately, but thanks for the great tips! Definitely going to try shaving a bit off.
Your welcome!
Do bourkes beak grow?
Hi, do you mean overgrow?
I think my birds are broken lol JK JK. My male Oz likes to scream when he is held and trimmed and my female just lays there and and only squirms a little bit.
did you get your birds from a pet store or breeders?
I got mine from breeders and owners who couldn't care for them anymore
i thought cuttlebones helped trim the beak :omy budgie is obsessed with it and it’s gone within 2 weeks
No they are too soft, they are too provide calcium
Could you please do a nail trimming video with your indian ringneck....??? Thank you
I wish I could but sadly she passed away. 😓
@@Loveofpets I'm so terribly sorry for your loss 😢
Do the 'flaky' beaks of birds smoothen out when it grows?
Beaks are always growing and can flakey as they grow. If the beak looks unusual then have it checked out by an avian vet but in general they do get flaky which is okay. I can't see a picture of your birds beak so not sure if he or she is normal.
@@Loveofpets Thanks a bunch!
my cocktail will never let no one cut his nails what do i do? my bird likes showers with us and he likes baths in sink
You have to towel him. Don't put pressure on his chest as they have no diaphragm and you could suffocate him or take him to an avian vet or bird groomer
Can someone help me is it a problem if a budgie/parakeet has a dirty beak and stays calm?
Hi, you can send me a picture through Instagram or my Facebook page. The links are in the description
I’m worried about lose my birds trust.. any suggestions?
Just do it.
My bird sick can you guide me which medicine I give to my bird
I recommend you go to an avian vet.
@@Loveofpets sorry I did not understand what you say can u explain it
Can you faille the beak and nails
With a human nail faille
Yes you can use a human nail file for the nails, just make sure to hold the nail steady.
What part of Ontario are you in? I feel like I saw you haha.
Toronto and you?
Love of Pets Oakville!
I love Oakville, I used to visit every summer but missed last summer.
Awww. Toronto is quite interesting as well, though the busy streets and tall buildings aren't for me!
I don't like them either. Luckily I don't live downtown, I hate it downtown. I would like to move to farm land one day and have a big hobby farm.b
When I move out of my parents place I’m going to get a buggie
me too
Mam how much time it takes for a beak to grow back
It can take a long time depending on how much of the beak is missing. In some cases if the beak is severely damaged, it won't grow back. Please take your bird to an exotic vet for an examination.
@@Loveofpets thank u mam

I saw your indian ringneck in some older videos being extremely hormonal, and I wonder if you know why she's doing this?
Thought I'd comment on here, to have a higher chance of getting a response.
Hi, birds get hormonal during breeding season and that's normal but she does get excited when she sees me and does the mating stance and noise, I believe it's to show affection to me but they do that when they want to mate with their mate. When a bird loves you they want to mate with you if that makes sense 😃
@@Loveofpets They only get THAT hormonal when you make them. If you don't touch them in places you shouldn't be, they would not be acting out like that though. Did you adopt this indian ringneck? Or are you petting her near her cloaca?
Hi, I am not new to owning birds, of course I don't pet her cloaca, why would I touch that area. lol. I know that her back is not supposed to be petted or pet her all the way down her back and tail. She shows me her affection since she was 8 weeks old. All female ringnecks do this to their owners its just the way they are. Cockatiels bend their head down to be petted and ringnecks bend it up to be petted. My Lovebirds lays in my hand to be petted, each bird has their own way to show affection. It just happens that the ringnecks mating stance is the same as her affection stance. Dont worry I know how to pet a bird. I dont make her hormonal. She does the stance everyday no matter if breeding season or not. She does it as soon as I look at her or walk by her cage so there is no way to avoid it. I would have to put her in a dark closet and never look at her to make her stop, its the way she is, nothing I can do will stop it. Its normal. I have to pet her sometimes and show her affection or whats the use of owning her? I cant ignore her.
@@Loveofpets It's not normal, not at that extreme. Keep egg binding in mind, maybe an avian vet visit?
Hahhahhahahhahhahhahhalolz
What happened to your instagram
It's still there, are you having problems getting on my Instagram?
@@Loveofpets I think you might have blocked me or something because I can't view you profile
I don't think so. Did you send anything nasty or a link? Is your profile pic the same as this?
@@Loveofpets a link / photo of my canary

Did your profile have a yellow face? I unblocked it and another so try again. Usually if nothing is said and it's just a link I assume it's spam. Try again
