 It seems like I'm pressing hard, but I'm really not. I'm just holding him firmly, but not squeezing. How are you feeling about this? Hello, my fellow snifferers. This is kind of like a little video. We just last minute decided to film because we were doing it. So it's not gonna be like official official, but basically all our birds and nails are like way long, yeah. So I don't like to do this alone. I have to have the help of Jenna because it's just, it would be too invasive and aggressive with one person because like how do I hold him down and get his nails? Anyway, we're gonna do Leo first. Say hi, Leo. He's kind of tired. It's kind of late, so. So we're taking advantage of it. So first you always have a nice soft blanket so that they feel comfortable and warm and cozy. So we place them down like this so that he doesn't know when it's not too crazy. And then we just kind of like get him like this. Wrap him in a burrito. Get him in burrito position. Oh, he flipped off around on us. So the first thing we do with our soft blanket is let the bird run away. So guys, it's important to get it right the first time because otherwise he'll be onto you. So Jenna's gonna do the capture. And you wanna get the open part where his feet are. Here, open his little head. No, no, no, yeah, yeah, it's there. First you open his head. Yeah, so that he can breathe and that he's fine. And monitor him. Yeah, so he's just like taking like, you know, he's in like king position. And then we'll expose his footsies. I'm in charge of footsies and then I'm gonna get these nails. Cause I tend to be a little over excited. Marlene's very gentle. I'm kind of like, okay, let's get this done and try to cut them as much as I can. So this process doesn't have to happen as often each year. Marlene's a little bit more timid. She'll like cut off 0.01 inch off. Yeah, so guys, one thing, we have the quick stop ready just in case his nails bleed or anything. Leo's nails are black. So it's actually hard to see the vein that you gotta be aware of. Careful, careful. Okay, let me come around here. So she's gonna reposition him so I could get the other foot. We also have another visitor. Jersey is very concerned, although she doesn't need to get that. Didn't I just do this foot? No, okay. It's okay. No, no bleeding, we're good. I got you baby, I got you. Just three more and you're good. Three more, don't. All right, one more, one more, one more. Okay, relax buddy, relax. Oh boy. Believe it's this one, yeah, careful. Okay, so essentially you're just taking the point off. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, you definitely need to take them to your bird store or local vet. It doesn't cost much and it's totally worth it having somebody else. But after they get their nails done, they're so vulnerable. You're gonna be happy. I remember the first time we got Rocky his nails trimmed by, who was it? Who did it? Lloyd, Lloyd at Birds Plus. He was like so traumatized that I could even cuddle him and love him and it was the best thing ever. It was so good. Jersey's like over here doing the antics. Yeah, that feels good, are you proud? Okay, let's put you back and do the next birdie. He's also tight. You're gonna get Jersey because I think Jersey's pretending to not love me. Are you pretending not? Are you gonna put him back? Are you gonna get Cody? Yeah, I could get Cody. Cody's nails are so bad right now. So that was pretty quick and easy. With the two of us, the soft blanket, you can also be petting the hat a little bit, making the bird feel like he has a lot of attention. Jersey doesn't wanna come over like she wants to be here, but she's not coming because she is worried that she's gonna get her nails clipped and she probably is. You probably are. You're probably gonna be getting your nails clipped. What do you have to say about this? Anything? She's like, I'm out. Yes, that's no fly flies. No fly flies. You're so extra, Cody. Are you ready for this? You don't know what's coming. African graze, I think pretend. Well, no, I have to say Rocky was pretty extra and dramatic, but I think African graze. Are you gonna be dramatic? Your nails are dramatic. Shooty wants to go potty. Go potty. Does he though? Did he trick us? Did he trick us? Probably. This is it. You have to poopy, you poopy and a blind kid. You have to poopy and a blind kid. Okay, you ready? Yeah. All right, you trick him. All right, trick him. Oh, tasty. Oh, he's so, he's kissing. He likes it, he likes the attention. Yeah, he's like legit blowing kisses, guys. That's all he's doing. Okay, so I probably should have done this with Leo, but here's a close up of him. So I tend to hold the neck a little. I'm not doing it right now, but like I just kind of hold the neck. Okay, I know, I know. Okay, now show off, okay. It seems like I'm pressing hard, but I'm really not. I'm just holding him firmly, but not squeezing. How are you feeling about this? So now if it's like cushiony enough, you don't even have to kind of press your fingers around him. It's just kind of like the blanket. You're okay, Cody. Sticking up to like create a big wall, a big fluffy wall. Ah, Cody. And they clench up their toes too, so you gotta be very careful. Yeah, and do one foot at a time because their other foot can squeeze you and since it's long and sharp, it's going to hurt you. So right now one paws out that Marlene can clip and then the other claw is under the blanket. You're okay, what happened? I know you're almost done. You're halfway there. You're good, you're good. We gotta do the other footsie now. We're doing the other footsie. Here, let me turn him to the side of it like I did with Leo. Okay, mommy has your footsie. Okay. Mommy has your footsie. Let's open, open. Where are you? Where's your head? Oh, there's your head. Cody? Did she literally? I know, Cody. I know, I know. It's so uncomfortable. I know. I know. It's very annoying. It's not fun. This is not the fun part. But I think I'm done. I think I'm done. Oh, I got a kiss. Okay, let's see if you're dramatic. Are you okay? He's a little impetite. Oh, he's a little impetite. Wanna watch the bachelor? Wanna watch the bachelor? He's a little traumatized, that's funny. His nails feel so good though, now. You want potty now? Jersey likes it. Jersey likes it. Are you next? Don't you want your nails to be nice so mommy wants to hold you? He was looking for his opportunities. He's like, oh man. Oh, your nails hurt. What about you? Shall we do Jersey? Let's get a kiss. Why are you like prepping the blanket so she knows she's the only one here? No, this is for Vinny. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, let's get Vinny. Shall we get Vinny, Jersey? Shall we get Vinny? Go get Vinny. Are you planning on doing like a wild cat? This is nice, Vinny. We did one nail. Two nails, he's actually well behaved. Okay, I'm gonna get a little quick stop with a tiny bit of blood. Nothing major. You're good, baby. Wow, this nail hurts, little baby. Yeah. Katelyn, we should have done Jersey first. Oh, okay. You're all happy now. Try to make it as comfortable as possible. It's never gonna be so comfortable for them, obviously, but if you go to a bird store or a vet, sometimes they'll literally capture them in like nets and stuff and put them under stress. So we tried at least have them at home while we're petting their head and they can go right back to their home and relax. That's it, guys. I hope you found that helpful. Don't forget to subscribe.
