I used a human nail clipper, but only the very tips. Blood supply goes far down the nail of Umbrella Cockatoos. Once the birds saw me demonstrate on myself and I allowed them to inspect the nail clipper, they were more co-operative. The tips still require a bit of gentle filing and buffing :)

How do you clip a baby's nails?
Video: How do you clip a baby's nails?Clipping Baby NailsClipping baby nails is similar to clipping an adult's, except that you should gently apply pressure to the end of the finger to pull the tip back from the nail a bit to avoid accidentally cutting the finger. Keep a firm hold on the baby's hand and cut fingernails along the curve of the finger. Toenails should be cut straight across. Use an emery board to smooth out rough edges. The best time to clip your baby's nails is when your baby is asleep to avoid the baby wiggling and perhaps causing you to cut a finger. Be sure to have ample light and use a pair of clippers or scissors made especially for the purpose of trimming baby nails.
How can you heal split nails?
Sometimes split nails can be caused by a deficiency in your diet. Or, they may split due the type of work and materials you use. In general, you can clip them and wait for them to grow. After clipping and shaping, use a clear, hard, fingernail polish on them so they have time to grow out.
How do you clip a guinea pigs nails?
you chew on it with your teeth until it falls off. i no it sounds weird but pro animal caretakers do it or if you have dogs it is just the same way. Get some clippers that you use for yourself (or buy special pet ones) and clip their nails. Just be careful. When you clip your own nails don't you try to clip the white part and avoid the pink? well, same with dogs, guinea pigs, and animals in that nature. so, be careful to not cut the pink or anywhere near that. You have most likely had experience with cutting your nails too short and you know it either hurts or bugs you and it takes awhile to heal. so, be careful.
What can't cockatoos eat?
The safest way to feed a cockatoo, or any pet, is to buy prepared food from a supermarket (after checking on the quality of the brand) or from a reliable pet supplier. Discourage people from feeding snacks to your pet, as it isn't possible to be certain of the effects foods humans might consume could have upon various animals. It goes without saying that you should be as vigilant with your pet as you would be with a small child, ensuring harmful substances such as medication, cigarette butts, alcohol, and so on, are not left within their reach. Chocolate, coffee and milk may all prove toxic to a bird, as they can to cats, dogs and other pets. Avocados are particularly toxic to many animals, including cockatoos. Bear in mind, too, that you shouldn't allow animals - including cockatoos - to 'kiss' people on the lips. This is for their protection: human saliva is not good for animals in general and birds in particular. If you are putting out feed for wild cockatoos, use a container such as a hanging tray, well out of the reach of cats and dogs, and keep it clean by flushing with water daily. If you are living in a climate which supports wild cockatoos it will be warm enough to quickly dry the tray, which you can then use to hold good-quality wild bird seed (from pet shops and supermarkets; look particularly for striped sunflower seed, rather than the black variety). Only put out sufficient food for a snack for a few birds, say one family, and do so no more than twice daily; you don't want to encourage the birds to become dependent. Don't worry if other birds also use the food; this interaction is good (and entertaining for observers). Cockatoos happily coexist with other breeds and birds work well together in the wild, forming their own interspecies alarm system to warn of danger. It goes without saying that for any animals you feed, wild or domestic, it is extremely important that fresh clean water be made available at all times.

How short should I cut my dogs nails?
You should clip your dogs nails only a little bit at a time. There is something called a "quick" in dog's nails. If you cut into the quick then the nail will start to bleed and it will have hurt the dog, to a point to that they dog won't let you clip their nails anymore. If you clip the nails a little bit say once a week, the quick will start to recede, making it safer to clip your dogs nails without hurting them.
