What do you use to clip an umbrella cockatoos nails?
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 :)

What do cockatoos eat to keep their beaks short?
Its not exactly what they eat... it more what they chew and gnaw on. Most parrots will chew on wood, and other destructible materials. Parrots in general will do alot of chewing to keep the beak in good order. Hard woods are best and most durable for chew toys, but basically they need somewhat easy to tear up materials, like soft woods that are fun to destruct, and then harder woods that are longer lasting and provide hours and hours of chewing pleasure for them.
Given the nature of the parrot beak, all of this chewing is not only entertaining to them, but it also keeps the beaks "trimmed" back and sharpened. Captive birds will need to chew, and also have access to concrete perches that offer another type of surface for beak honing.
In the wild, parrots would do much the same thing as "domesticated" parrots... chew chew chew... branches, inside cavities in trees they might nest in, things they just decide look like fun to chew on, as a whole, parrots are natures little colorful wrecking crew! Hope this helps a little.
