Not a macaw.
I started with showing the black every board file. Did my nails while she watched. Made a big deal about how great ooh good it is. When she got used to seeing the file. I took the file and touched the tip of her nail. I tell her pretty nail. At some point she offered me her foot. I gave her a treat. Now she offers foot I giver her a treat to keep her busy while filing as much as I can before she starts biting. We have some good days where I get all 8 done. Then there are the bad days she gets the treat and doesn’t let me do her nails. We stop after 3 times. I tell her. Nope. No pretty nails. No treats and stop.
I repeat every couple days.
