We've gotten way off topic, but to answer about the dremel tool, it does not make a terrible amount of noise, especially running on the lowest speed available. I used I think, a 400 grit round wheel grinder that was about 1/2" in diameter. As for the bird, it grinds the nails so quick, it takes less than a second to do each nail. Essentially, all you have to do is just very lightly touch the tip of the nail, and it's dull. You *can* very easily burn the nail if you where to hold it on for any length of time.
Best way to tell how fast it cuts, is to touch it to your own toenail or fingernail, and then you can judge how much pressure, (extremely little) and time to cut. It sure beats struggling with the bird trying to hold the nail and clip it. None I've done like it, but tis one of those "necessary evils" if you don't want to look like you've always just completed a cat fight, and the cat won

Not to mention them snagging nails on clothing and other stuff.
