When/How to trim a bird w/scissor beak's beak?

[PouleNoire]

My sweet little personality girl, Muffin has scissor beak and has all her life. Just wondering I have heard they will need trimmed and hers is starting to look a little abnormally long, not terrible just abnormal. Does anyone have a picture or something of when they should be trimmed? And how would I go about doing this? Thanks!

P.s: I can get a pic tomorrow if need be

I use a pedi paw dog trimmer for the nails,sure it wouldn’t hurt to use it for the the beak.I like it better then using razors and etc.

Cool, I was thinking a regular animal clipper would work but wasn't sure...thanks!

It just seems like it hurts to me.The pedi paw is just a sand paper thing on a motor going around and around,basically a nail filler.I even used it on my nails just to see what they were gonna feel.

Oh, I looked it up. I don't think I would use it on her beak..I thought it was a regular nail clipper.

I have same problem. How old is a good age to start trimming / dremeling ?

I don't think age matters. Just how the beak itself is doing, as in how long it is and such. I will have to get some pics of her beak..
