No towel! That’s an interesting technique. My African Grey let’s me clip one or two nails if I keep a constant stream of seeds going into his mouth. Usually a full nail trim takes a week. My cockatiel’s nails are so tiny so I towel him and use a dremel on them.

Parrots!
Hello parrot lovers! This is c/parrots, a community for parrot owners and anyone that appreciate parrots.
There will be some useful resources here or on a stickied post sometime in the future.
Rules
-
Don't be a jerk. Do be helpful, kind, supportive and informative.
-
No NSFW images. This is a forum for celebrating parrots and a resource for information about parrots. It's okay to post a question about you bird's health but please don't include an image with it. If you think your bird is sick, you need to go to an avian veterinarian.
-
No images of animals in unsafe situations. This includes but is not limited to images of parrots with predators (dogs and cats), images of parrots unsecured in a moving vehicle, images of parrots outside without proper restraint or free-flight training.
-
Rules are subject to change in the future because I have no idea what I'm doing.

I typically use a towel to do nail trims. It's easier when it's just one person.
