My son noticed Beaker's claws were a bit sharp as they were digging into his skin.
We decided to give Beaks a manicure.
Ended up we had to roll him into a towel as he was not going to let my son hold him while I filed on his nails.
The "drama" was not that bad. No yelling or flipping out and Beaker didn't sulk afterward.
Usually he ends up red faced and panting when taken to the groomer.
Although he didn't get clipped this time.

It’s always a two person job when we do Chyloe’s nails. I hold her on her back on my knee while hubby uses the Dremel. She clenches her foot so tightly, I have to pry it open. She does some muttering but is otherwise well behaved.

I have to wrap Monty when I do his beak. He is very used to it as his beak has needed trimming all his life.
Mitzi has never been wrapped and I dread to think how she would react but fortunately she has never needed her nails or beak trimming.

This is a job I leave for the pros. Ruby needs a trim every few months, especially her nails but also beak. The groomer takes her in the back in a secure area as a safeguard because her wings aren't clipped. I don't know if they are just trying to make me feel good or what but lately they've been complicating me about how well behaved she is. I have my doubts!

I do my birds myself, but only because my husband is already at the bottom of the totem pole and he thinks if he helps, they'll wage an all out war against him. I use a blanket, and they both know what is coming when they see the nail clippers, but they give up pretty quickly. It only takes a few minutes each bird. I don't do them the same day.
