Green Cheek Nail Length / Talon Length

[chris686]

I was curious what the opinions were on cutting nails. This is my GCC, Pico. Rather, a couple pictures of her nails:

Her talons aren't bothering her or me, so that's what I'm going on. I've had her for around a year, and haven't needed to trim her nails once. She uses her sand perch (This: All Living Things® Beach Sand Bird Perch | Perches | PetSmart ) all the time. I even catch her hanging upside down from it at times.

My cockatiel, on the other hand, had some pretty sharp talons that I got trimmed today. I wasn't able to get anyone to help me, so I paid to have them done. It was pretty clear his talons were bothering him as well as me.

Anyway, I was just curious if there were any reasons I should worry if my bird's talons aren't sharp and they aren't getting them stuck on anything.

They look fine to me.
I have my oldest gcc for 2,5 years now and haven't trimmed their nails once.
They also do it their selves on their perch,they get a check up twice a year and i always ask whether or not their nails are to long,i always get a no.
