My vet used a dremel too but he only shortened the beak because he thought Lincoln would be happier with longer nails while he's still new to stepping up with me and such so he has a better grip.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.

Great idea! Cutting nails can have a short-term impact on agility, something to be avoided with a new bird!

I'm glad he's okay and happier now. Eating with a beak like that can't be easy!
