If you own a large bird, you know that cutting its nails is a pain, but it must be done.

As an owner of exotic birds for the last 25 years, I can tell you, cutting a bird's nails is no easy task. It requires two people and an sometimes unorthodox tools, in this case, a dremel tool.

My bird, a Goffin cockatoo, 'Clyder' does not react very well to nail clippers, so I might have to try this method, next time.

Naturally, the bird gets nervous, so one person has to wrap the bird in a towel, and turn the bird upside down on his back, while the second person files down the birds nails using a dremel and a sanding bit.
