Does anyone know how to trim the beak of a Muluccan Cockatoo?

Do Not do this yourself !!! I've had, and raised birds, and I have never trimmed a beak...... it's too dangerous for the bird, unless you are a Vet ! Buy your bird a 'cuddle bone'.... they 'chew' and rub their beaks on this, and 'that', helps keep their beeks trimmed up nice. Same with toenails...........get some sand paper coverings for one or two of it's perches. The more the bird uses it's beak (on the cuddlebone), the better it'll be. If you MUST have it trimmed.......... take it to a QUALIFIED Vet !! (one that specializes in avian (bird) medicine.)

Trimming the beak of a large bird should only be done by a professional. Do not attempt this yourself or your bird will most likely bleed to death. A vet that is not specialized in birds will often not take on this task. Consult an Avian Vet.

CAGs that celebrate with chewing on timber and toys do no longer want their beaks trimmed, yet an outstanding avian vet might want to be waiting to guage your chook's beak more advantageous constructive. If the accurate of the further constructive mandible is in difficulty-free words too sharp or lengthy, it truly is in all possibility the vet might want to opt to trim it ever so particularly. A dremel gadget is optimal frequently used, and if the vet does it, there is little to no possibility of any discomfort. If the owner were to purpose a trim, then utilising a nail record is the numerous you'll attempt to exhibit screen. I have a TAG that doesn't chew timber, who opt to chew on delicate subject matters particularly. consequently, he needs a beak trim 2 situations a three hundred and sixty 5 days. :( Our CAG in difficulty-free words had the pointy tip blunted off on the instantaneous, yet this grew to change into frequently because persons captivating a chook sitter for our upcoming vacation. a minimum of now, the sitter might want to be a lot less in contact about taking a chew if he can't positioned a hollow in her too truly. :P in the adventure that your CAG likes chewing subject matters, particularly timber toys and so on, then you actually shouldn't might want to rigidity about trimming his beak. you would possibly want to attempt Googling "overgrown beaks" and be unsleeping the photos that get up. those furnish you a theory of concepts undesirable overgrown beaks can get, and why some birds want trims.

Most of the time birds will "file" down their beaks by rubbing them against their perch or cuttle bone. To trim their beaks you must use a special type of nail clippers or in this case beak clippers. If its your first time you should go to a vet and let them show you how to do it properly.

DON'T touch it!! Wait to see an avian vet! Or a parrot breeder.

Have a green wing Macaw. Would never touch her beak! Nails yes beak NO.

The vet has this like sandpaper electric tool. To sand it down! Not cut it!

You can also just use regular sandpaper on nails.

Beaks I don't like to play with. They are just too important of a birds anatomy!

Very carefully, using a special beak trimmer tool. In a pinch you can use toenail clippers. Be sure you do not over trim.

If I were you and you've not handled frightened birds before....I'd take it to an Avian Vet! If you try on your own, you're liable to get bit!

i personally have NO IDEA but ask a certified veteranarian and do NOT attempt this with only reasearch backing(get real LIVE help)hope it works out.

give him plenty of grit and a big bit of cuttlefish

please PLEASE only have a vet that specializes in parrots do this, as it can cause serious bleeding and sometimes death if done improperly.
