This Hand-held Cautery Trim Tool is battery operated.The Cautery Trim Tool painlessly burns the nail tip off. Hand-held Cautery Trim Tools have the advantage of no bleeding because they cauterize as they cut and usually leave a blunted end. The procedure is quick and painless so most parrots tolerate it well.
This Cautery Trim Tool can also be used for beak trims and to stop bleeding on minor cuts or scratches. It works on dogs and cats, too. Inside every toenail is a blood supply, or "quick". If cut, this will begin to bleed and can be very painful. It may be hard to estimate how short to cut your bird's nails initially. Unless the bird has white nails, it is also very hard to visualize how long the blood supply is. On some birds, this may be only the very tip of the nail. In the beginning, clip conservatively. If you hit blood on one nail, cut the others a little longer. In time, you will get to know your bird's ideal length. Each unit comes with 2 "AA" batteries and 1 tip.
Replacement Cautery Tips are available.
