If you get some claw clippers you can do it yourself. As long as you are careful that you only take the very end of his nails off.
We also have a cockatoo and we do her nails ourselves. But you really must be careful not to cut into the blood vessel.
Any probs, just put another post on.

Woody - if you are up to doing it yourself the bird will be much happier than you having to take it to a Vet. Most will do it, and of course, charge you. But for no/little trauma, someone the bird knows holding it firmly, and the cutter being very careful, should do the trick. Hubby (ex vet) would have done it for you but his eye sight is so bad now he refuses to do things like that in case of error!!!
