Can I trim my parrot's beak?

[Guest]

Can anyone help please I've got a small parrotlet and noticed her beak seems a little too long, can I cut it myself with something or does it need to be a vet many thanks..

Vet beak trim are not overly expensive. Cost about the same as dog nail trims. They use gentle buffing along the sides and reshape the tip.

If you've never done it yourself, I'd have a vet or other knowledgeable bird person teach you the first time or two
