So I noticed Giggles nails are getting a little long, mainly her middle toe (long one) and I think i need to trim them a little. (Red Crowned Kakariki)

Would these be okay? Or recommendation?
Any helpful tips for doing it? I know I may have to have my husband hold her in a towel while I cut her nails. She trusts us, but doesn't let us grab her and doesn't like sitting on us. Basically enjoys being near us long as we do not touch her. Only time she will jump on us is with the promise of a treat and once she gets it she will fly off. But I don't want her nails to get to long they become uncomfortable and instead of going to someone to do it I wish to learn to do it myself especially since she can live 10 to 15 years :green1:

Far too many individuals trim nails and of them, far too many screw-it-up!
Have your Avian Profession (Vet's clinic) do the trimming!
You have worked hard at developing a trust bond, why waste that joy by holding and fighting with your Parrot just to trim the nails. Plus, it gets professional eyes on your Parrot on a regular bases.
