Uh, Sam needs those talons for piercing flesh. Plus, only girls get pedicures. Duh! What a cutie though Looks like he took to toweling easy enough.
Kiwi does knot toes too. I have to (lovingly) pry each toe out of the knot, all whilst getting the stink eye. Funny enough, but he'll just sit there and allow me to extend his wing for clipping with no protest. But don't you dare touch those flesh piercing talons!
