I would think this would be cruel for the bird, opinions?

I've never heard of this, allthough, it seems like it COULD be more humane than debeaking. But, I would think you could only do this once the bird is done growing???? If so, by then, a lot of damage has been done already.

I'm sure someone here will know more about this.

I've seen those in the McMurray catalog, I think? They are weird....I've never had any issues with them picking at each other--but I don't have many birds & they have lots of room....so I'm not sure?

Yes, ppl still do it and yes, it hurts.
