Birds fly. Not a great revelation to a bird owner. However, birds can fly
into lots of trouble if precautions are not taken by the owner. Inside, a
bird can fly into windows and mirrors, boiling liquids on the stove, and
ceiling fans. Birds are prone to a startle reflex when suddenly frightened.
Even a hand-raised bird's instincts tell him to attempt to fly off when
frightened. If the bird's wings are clipped, it will flutter harmlessly to the
ground-if not, this could result in the loss of a bird.
Wing clipping is one way in which you can control your bird's
movements. Wing clipping is done by trimming some or all of the primary
flight feathers, which are the long feathers that help the bird gain
altitude when flying. Proper clipping will limit your bird's ability to a gentle
downward glide, which will let you then pick him up and put him back on
his perch.
If you've ever held your bird and felt as though eight sharp needles were
piercing your skin, you probably know that nail clipping is important.
Regular clipping keeps the nails at a manageable length, protects your
delicate skin and makes it more comfortable for the bird to sit on its
perch.
Our knowledgeable staff will gladly clip your bird's nails and wings
whenever needed, even if you bought your bird somewhere else. We do
wing and nail grooming Tuesday through Saturday, 9 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
No appointment needed.
