Hi all! When you trim your birds' nails, what product do you use to stop the bleeding? Quik stop powder or gel? Or do you make something homemade, like flour and water?
We use nail clippers, and quick stop or corn starch.
Marcia is right about it being toxic, my cockatiel injested some after he'd been attacked by one of my lovebirds, she had bitten his nail off, and it made him soooooo sleepy and very uncoordinated. he turned out fine.
When you use corn-starch, do you wet it, or just put it on dry? I am asking now so I can stop the bleeding right away if I clip a vein (haven't tried trimming my birds' nails myself)/
