Bird Grooming in Hoshi | Book on Salonist
Frequently Asked Questions
A small bird's claw trim is usually AED 30 to 65 here, a wing tidy AED 35 to 75, and both at one visit around AED 55 to 105. Larger parrots are priced above that, and driving out to a villa adds a call-out charge.
Yes, several will, although the distance means they tend to prefer a booked morning or a run of appointments in the same street. Salonist lists the ones covering this side of the emirate with their live availability.
The clearest sign is claws hooking into curtains, clothing or your hand when the bird steps up. A bird that cannot sit flat and steady on its dowel is also overdue a trim.
Both are reasonable and it really depends on your home. A clipped bird is safer in a villa with open doors and ceiling fans, while a fully flighted one needs a properly bird-proofed room.
Put the bird back somewhere quiet with familiar food and water and leave it alone for an hour or two. Some are unsteady on freshly shortened wings for a day, so drop the perches a little lower.
