Parrot keeps getting nails caught on bars

THAT IS SO SCARY!!!!!!!!!

All the above advice is SO GOOD!

Long-run issue...
I, too, really recommend getting those nail-trimming perches... they can eliminate nail-trimming, which was always so stressful for me and the Rb. It took a few years, but I eventually established a pattern/rotation that keeps him trimmed. I haven't had to do his nails in 20-plus years. I keep a dowel as the main "highway" down the middle of the cage, but the special cement/trimmer/textured perches are all over.
A few brands... but there are many: Polly's Sand Walk... Pumice Perch... Trimmer Perch...
Be sure to introduce them gradually: they're abrasive to their tender feet at first. I LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are smooth on top and abrasive underneath. Very easy to install/clean, oo.

I let him out of the cage for the first time today, although he only stood on the top of it. There were no attempts to fly at all while he was there and he mainly looked over the edges and ate millet from my hand.

It might be wishful thinking but he seems a bit calmer with me after this experience.
