Don't bother you don't need it. They will trim their nails themselves or they break off normally. That is only for much larger birds and then you must have experience with what you are doing. Don't waste your money.





I'm around; I've had 20 or so of them over the last 14 years. Keep them away from ethernet cables. They love to chew them. That and power supply cables (the DC type power supplies). One of my hens got zapped one time. I said ';SEE I TOLD YOU SO!'; She hasn't chewed that much since then, but, she is still attracted to them somewhat. It didn't hurt her. She just went flying for a few feet and shook it off. Then she came to me wondering why. Cockatiels aren't the brightest so don't expect the intelligence of a full grown dog.Does the Dremel Pet Nail Grooming Kit at petsmart work for birds?
Take my advice and that of others Do Not buy one of these kits, you could end up with a toe less or legless bird if you are not confident in using one of these tools.





Have kept and bred various species including Parrots , there is no better tool than a good strong pair of Nail clippers





For a Cockatiel all you need is some one such as a breeder ,that will do it and show you how.





But please beware of using power tools on your bird.
No, their nails are too small for that. Go to the pet store and buy a proper fitting sandy perch. It will keep her?his nail nice an trimmed. sometimes you have to take your bird to someone to have them clipped. Use an expert here, there is a vein that runs down the nail and you Don't want to clip it. Have your birds wings clipped and nails trimmed when you pick it up. the sandy perch should do the rest
It is possible (and much safer) to teach your tiel to accept you filing his nails with an emery board. Cockatiel nails are fairly sender. First, let your teil get used to you touching his feet. Then to start, let him check out the board, hold it, mouth it, play with it. Another time, do the same, then try rubbing the board lightly against the tips of the nails on one or two toes. With patience and time, you can teach him to accept having his nails filed. ALWAYS ALWAYS use the board lightly on his nails. The possibility of filing off too much and causing bleeding is very real.
I wouldn't... I mean I guess technically it would work.. but from what I hear they are fairly loud and would probably frighten the bird... plus, if you over trim a nail and cause bleeding, the bird may not STOP bleeding and could die :(


It's better to take him/her to the vet when he/she needs a trim. . .
Don't spend the money for this. There are perches that will help with nail trimming that work great %26amp; are safe for your bird.
NO it will tear your birds toes off look how a birds toes are it wont work.
