I will never stress out my Macaw like you did in this video. That is exactly why I do not take my Macaw to a idiot of a vet. Id delete this if I was you.
What is disturbing in this video is how the Vet said all bird toes bleed!!! Ur fingers would bleed too if u cut ur nails too close to ur quick, thats common sense. If there is blood, there is nerves, and where there is nerves it Hurts! A true good Vet should know how to trim a birds nails with the intent of avoiding making them bleed. I use a dremel tool so she never bleeds, I can trim her nail down to her safe size, and shape the nail round instead of a sharp point which happens when you clip them using a nail clipper. Your bird just like you, your dog, your cat etc should never have to bleed! If theres blood, theres nerves, and if theres nerves believe it Hurts! If ur gona clip, do just the tip and round the edges with the same clipper, at all costs avoid intentionally clipping to the size u want at the bird's expense. Be mindful and know if they bleed your hurting them!
This is NOT cool in my book! I have a blue n gold macaw he is full flight ready because he is flight trained. There is no need for this if you properly train them this wouldn't be a problem but to each there own
This is a horrible example. You never say this is a bad bird. you are a bad person. You put this poor bird at risk of potentially breaking his wings by not keeping his wings down to his body. You must hate birds! You are a mean person. You should never touch an animal. I've had macaws for 30 years and I've never seen a vet mishandle and speak this way and abuse a bird like this😱
Omg this is so sad I hate that people do This, macaws don’t fly much as it is in captivity I would be mad at the O for doing this. Now working in vet med and being a rescue to macaws and such I totally get it but definitely could have handled the bird better etc. I never clip them just as I won’t declaw a cat but some are here for the animals some are not. ❤
Ur so evil. The most evil and inhumane people I’ve seen. Look at the poor macaw struggling to get free. Even if ur intentions are to limit the birds’s flying, you should train the bird to not fly away from you not cutting off its feathers! Imagine someone cutting off ur arm, how would u feel. Macaws are very intelligent birds and can be easily trained to human needs. Don’t need to destroy the birds’s beauty and flying ability like that stupid humans
This is TERRIBLE!! You traumatized that sweet macaw!! This does not need to happen!! Not just the traumatizing method but you cut his flight feathers too short and you only need to cut the first 8 FLIGHT FEATHERS!! You should not be working with ANY BIRDS! If he was so bad…..he would have bit your face or broke your fingers!! 😡😡😡
I don't understand why you're not using a larger towel? The restraining is correct but a larger towel will be a lot more comfortable for both parties. I'm not really for wing clipping, but you do you.
OMG whata stresful situacion for this poor bird, can you do that litle bit easier, becoze it will be a big thing if he dont lose all feather from stres, eaven if i dont suport cliping bird, that will be same if sombody took your legs that you cant escape.....bullshit
hi every one !! i have just searched youtube how to cut my macaws nails , and this showed up first. Honestlyi have no words !!! this is just cruelty to our babys this lady should not be giving advice to people. and never should cut the wings as thats cruel as well . poor boy she is holding him like a rat !! you tube should bann this video as its not helping any one or giving any advice but showing HOW CRUELTY TO ANIMALS ARE DONE AWFULL
There’s no need to trim a birds feathers, their nails don’t always bleed (unless you callously trim them too close and cut the quick on purpose) and this bird is NOT a bad bird, it just hasn’t been conditioned properly for grooming. You need to learn more about birds. It’s clear your knowledge on them is sorely lacking.
A bird is born to fly. Why take that away from them? My blue and gold macaw are alwas with me, inside and out side, and without wings he would be an easy prey!
Because if it were allowed to fly, it could cover over 15 miles in one go. Do you know what a Macaws natural habitat is? Not f*cking North Carolina where this took place. I do think this bird should exist only in the wild, but this one lives in North Carolina, and needs to not fly in order to survive. Also, the neck bone is the strongest bone in a parrots body. It's the safest place to restrain a parrot, and this doctor listed off the NAMES OF THE BONES. They know what they are doing. I know it looks rough, but so does surgery. It's still necessary.
Don't you go for a haircut? Does it pain? The trimming of flight feathers is as painful as a haircut. Moreover, we too love to watch our birds fly, but these are pets, if they fly away, they won't survive more then 2 days in the wild. They will be hit by a car or will be hunted by other birds. We don't want our birds in cages we like to see them free in the house. There are obstacles in the house they can crash into, the fan or the stove. It's a safety measure for the bird we keep as a family member. Feathers grow back in a month or 2. Birds in the wild lose flight feathers all the time, trust me they are capable of gliding 10 to 15 feet, but can't go higher than a few feet from the ground. They gain flight capabilities in a matter of days even after trimming. It's crazy living with a bird, always need to be watchful especially with parrots because these birds are smarter than dogs and very curious. My bird will climb to the ceiling and glide down just for kicks after a trimming and to make us nervous.
Then, you don’t let the bird be outside without a harness or cage. Plus, you can train to recall as a precaution. A bird’s main and best form of exercise is flying. You’re taking away what they’re naturally supposed to do. Clipped birds can still catch wind and go miles as well unless it’s a very bad job on the clip.
They didn’t say anything about it being painful. Please, read the reply above. It’s YOUR job to keep them out of place they should. As you said, they’re smarter than dogs so why don’t you just train your bird? Also, no one should own a bird unless they’re willing to let the bird fly but in a safe place and do the loads of research before even getting one.
@@ShaynaFlowers Owning a bird takes away what they do naturally. I agree with that, and I don't think anyone should have a parrot or bird of any kind. We're terrestrial land animals, and we have no need or right to keep flying aerial animals captive. However, this bird can't go back to the wild, and maybe it can't be trained any more. After a certain amount of time, hormones take over and it's too late to reinforce that behavior. Clipping may just be the best thing for it. Bottom line, it does take away their natural behavior, so does everything about captivity, even the best parrot parents are not providing them with the experience they would get in the wild, and no one would have parrots imo.
Hi i have a doubt. My parrot has really long nails (they are curled) is it possible to trim them back to the original length? Blood vessels from the nail keep growing proportionally to the nail lenght? Or just the nail grows? Thank yku
You should advise the assistant to hold the jaws of the bird and not its neck, no sort of restraint there... just making it difficult for both parties.
Most owners trim their birds wings to limit flying. We only trim the primary and secondary feathers, not the coverlet feathers so the bird has ability to glide down when trying to fly....not drop like a rock to the ground. With the proper wing trim they should glide down to the ground gently and not get any lift. Wing trims are not painful to them.
Most owners do not have there birds wings trimmed ..only those that do not know any different i have had a macaw for 22 years and not once have i thought i know what i will get my birds wings clipped .if anyone out there wants an unhappy bird get it done not only that "they say your bird will be safe not true if there is any danger to a clipped bird how is it meant to get away from said danger you would not cut your dogs legs off because it runs off no You train it not to run off
No, It's not painful to cut the feathers but without the ability to fly they develop muscle atrophy. This occurs because the muscles in the wings are not being used correctly if at all. It becomes extremely painful for the bird to even move its wings. This then leads to serious psychological and behavioural problems like wing plucking and excessive screaming. Wing clipping is becoming seriously outdated as many bird owners are realising the detrimental effects. Also, even in a 'proper' clip, the secondary feathers should never be cut, and you shouldn't clip at the base of the feathers, let alone cut at all. Please, just train your bird.

I don't like this lady
Полностью с Вами согласна!
Yeah wtf was that, I bet she's the "bird specialist" vet in the area

Poor bird!😢Handled poorly, roughly, and called names (“bad bird”). I feel so sorry for this beautiful Macaw. Terrible terrible video.😢
This is so sad to watch....a blue and gold 😢should never have their wings clipped...they should have flight...I am the owner of Mccaws!
NOT A BAD BIRD. YOUR HURTING HIM. AND! THEY DONT ALWAYS BLEAD YOUR CUTTING TOO SHORT
This seems like animal abuse you are brutal. will find a different video this is mean advice.
Genuinely what the abloulte huhhh. I cannot wait to do that to you 😊
Don’t get a BIRD if you won’t allow it to fly.
That is very selfish.
it's not your bird and not your opinion so don't mind other people's business🙂
@@djmaaish2564 I am very much allowed to have an opinion about this. It it’s selfish and it always will be.
@UClUouHX7UzaCvTJ3jCyeZuw you are a moron. It is dangerous to have a pet bird fly. They can fly away or fly into things and die.
@@louisehelgesson5471 its just a trim its not like they cant fly ,they can fly
Lousy job of handling this macaw!
Shame on you!! I’m traumatized by watching this! Not as much as this macaw is traumatized though! 😡😡😡
This is TERRIBLE!! You traumatized that sweet macaw!! This does not need to happen!!

Butchering his poor wings. Disgusting
❗STOP ABUSING ANIMALS PLEASE❗
poor macaow .......... if u can handle the flying dont pay parrot this is slavery

Horrible 😢😢poor baby😢
YOU SHOUD BE DENUNCIED
This is disgusting
I feel so bad holding it by it’s neck pretty tightly and pulling its legs down. Poor thing
A bird is born to fly. Why take that away from them?
My blue and gold macaw are alwas with me, inside and out side, and without wings he would be an easy prey!
NOOOOOOOOO.... NEVER CUT WINGS...NOOOO . WHY DONT YOU CUT YOUR FINGERS ???? YOU ARE SO RUDE
😂😂😂😂😂
Not against clipping but this was suuuuuch a bad clip you really need more training
And the nail is bleeding
People need to know not every bird can be or will be flight trained.
What are u doing to this poor macaw is there a reason why u are trimming it’s wings and you are also handling is so hard u are also grabbing the neck

This is shocking, how dare you to treat a bird like that. Disgusting human
That was not useful. I have kept my blue gold for 15 years and would never handle him this way. Stress and trauma.
😢
Nope!!!!! None of this!!!!
I hope you’ve decided to stop and find you another career because they’re horrible at this
Has to be stressful for the bird
Omg if u dont want him to fly get urself a pet rat.
Thats big time abuse , i too have big parrots but i never do this they do free flight , this is so bad
Free flight is dangerous af.
@@paloma4444 but also so so worth it for the birds physical and mental health
Крылья изуродовали((
You should use a much larger towel.
Very poor handling
ANIMALES...NO MUTILES A LOS LOROS
One bite of that macaw & you're gone
even my pet store doesnt choke my macaw they gently do it, even tho my macaw screams like a lawnmower😂
Hi i have a doubt. My parrot has really long nails (they are curled) is it possible to trim them back to the original length? Blood vessels from the nail keep growing proportionally to the nail lenght? Or just the nail grows? Thank yku
Hi my mom has a BG and one of his nails are completely round other very long I cut his nail with a dremal not to close to the toe but he did not bleed
You should advise the assistant to hold the jaws of the bird and not its neck, no sort of restraint there... just making it difficult for both parties.
When I see the claw clipping!
Its like Dr. Mengele 2.0!
My bird just rolls over and I do nails
I don't care doc. Bobbi!!!

Looks like you made it painful for him by handling him so roughly. You might as well have just plucked them out… smh.
