Yep and is it OK to use nail clippers and also do i do both wings or just 1?

You didn't mention the bird breed.





Heres a guide with a diagram for wing-trimming, as well as nail trimming instructions from the National Cockatiel Society.

Use what is best for you to do nails, but don't talk while doing the act. Birds know voices with the act. Always clip both wings. Never ever leave one wing undone without the other. Both wings should be clipped.





Whom ever clips one wing and leaves the other one unclipped should be in the next cell along with mike vick!!Yep and is it OK to use nail clippers and also do i do both wings or just 1?
Don't do it yourself. If you have to ask on a website about clipping wings you obviously don't know enough about it to do it yourself. take the bird to a vet and they will do it properly.


Please don't take offence. but if you do it yourself you could end up causing fatal damage to the bird.
Both wings. Cut only the primaries, the first 4-6 feathers on his wing. Use a sharp hair cutting scissors. Don't cut blood feathers; these have a waxy appearance on the shaft. If they do bleed, use syptic powder and pressure on the cut. Or, rip it out with needlenose tweezers. It won't hurt him.





Don't use nail clippers. Use a sanded perch.
You cut both wings using sharp scissors. nail clippers can be used for the nails, but it's better to get a cement perch., that way you don't cut the nails to short, and your bird will love you, not hate you for hurting it.
