Only if you can see where the vein in the claws is. To clip too short you could clip that vein or as it is said. . . clip the quick,much like cutting your own nails TOO short and as it makes your finger sore for a day or two so will it do the same for the bird.


Cutting the nail too short will cause it to bleed not that this is a bad thing but it opens the bird up for picking up infection and having a problem bigger than sharp nails.


When you clip a nail too short,as it heals the vein will receed but until that happens and the nail heals,the bird could be pretty miserable esp if it gets infected nails.


I suggest you take it to the vet for this proceedure and even they can clip a nail too short but if they do they had medicine that will stop the bleeding and can give the bird a round of antibiotics to cut back the chance of infection.





Once the nails are clipped,using sandpaper perch covers helps keep the nails filed down and easier to manage.Should i trim the nails of my Blue fronted amazon my self?
