Why do I leave my Parrot’s Nails Slightly Long?

[@CapELarry]

As a life long parrot owner, those nails are fine. I let mine keep his nails long enough to use as traction. The scars on my shoulders are testament to that.

I’m a professional groomer, and I don’t think the nails are too long. I think they’re just fine.

As long as he doesn't get caught on things his nails are fine. My Rainbow Lorikeet gets caught on my clothes, towels and his bedding when his nails are long; so he needs them trimmed when that happens.

I don’t think his two nails are that long! And that makes sense as to why you keep them longer. Always naysayers.

🪽Nice to meet you bird mommy! I'm really impressed by how much you put care into grooming these babies! Plus I think the birds can tell that you really love them and you're their friend! 🫶🏼💖 🐣🦜🦚🦃🦩🦢🦆🪿🦜🐦‍⬛🦤🐦🦉🐧🐦‍🔥🪺🐥🪹🐓🕊️🦅🦇
