Today was the day that Sunny the bird needed to go to the bird store and get his "pedicure". He goes about every 6 weeks to get his wings clipped so he can't fly. He gets his nails trimmed because he can't cut his own nails! He also gets a special treatment that he doesn't like at all. He gets his beak trimmed. Sunny has an overgrown beak where his bottom beak grows over his top beak. It makes it hard for him to eat.
When he gets his beak trimmed he screams. The guy has to wrap him in a towel like a burrito then he uses a nail trimmer to cut his lower beak. Sometimes it bleeds. The guy uses a special thing to stop the bleeding. Sunny screams this piercing sound and I can't stand it. I know trimming his beak has to happen but I hate it and I know he does too. Then the guy cuts his toe nails and wings. Today the guy cut his beak really low because it had grown very long.
When we get home Sunny does not speak for the rest of the day. I can't tell if he is mad or it hurts or he is pouting. But not a peep comes from that cage until tomorrow morning.
Until tomorrow...
