Not that it is a difficult job, but if she gets freaked out or mad at anybody it would be better if it wasn't you. My local pet store does it for free, and only charges $1 to trim toenails. By letting someone else do the job, I know that they have a lot of experience and know how to handle a tough situation, and if my bird gets mad at anybody it is not me (in fact he is REAL glad to get back to me :-). -Steve
