Even vets should not be allowed to cut birds beaks for any reason other than urgent reasons. Point being, many vets used to routinely clip beaks for 'trimming' when clipping nails. Now they know that any opening in the beak is just an opening to infection! No beak should be clipped so it is opened in any way and using any tool which is not sterilized is asking for trouble too. Beware anyone clipping a beak. If a bird of mine had a beak which normally needs tending, buy a Dremel. They aren't that expensive in comparison to vet visits for healing the beak. I've read in numerous areas that if the beak is allowed the proper chewing experiences, no need for trimming. So maybe you should allow more items for chewing.
Good luck,
Linda & Skye~
