I was overcaring my bird, and i decided to clipp 1 cla that was particulary long, now i se that i must have just tuched the "pulp" of her inner nail or what it is called, but there is no blood coming ether i did the perfect cut or just a bit to long... I feal so bad, it hurts me inside not knowing if i made her have ake, shi is singing to the music right now, she lifted upp her leg and stood on the other 1 for about 1 second or maby 2. then she standed normal she said "PIIIIIP" when i did it and i got superscared.. did i do something terrible?
how do i know if it was to mych of a clippt her nail?
EDIT: i tested to google this, appairentlly its no hassle, she dident bleed or anything so prolly i did a grate job only she hates everinting "invasive". I tryed the shower thing. she gets so scared of the change of enviroment plus hearing the shower so she got paniced and allmost juped out of her cage "tarzanstyle" she dident like that AT ALL!! but now my hole appartment is totally super humid.. all windows and everything is like fog...

Glad she is ok. If she does bleed, put some corn flour onto it and it will stop the bleeding. Only clip the bit of the nail what is white. I just do the little point on the end if they are too long or sharp. My bird doesn't like new things, he has a big cage but only uses one half of it.

Ansure: Today she is superhappy she is more free to kove without that nail i might take 1 more today, it never bled, it was probely the purfect cut, its just like 1mm from the red part in the nail (inside) she has 1 nail i rly want to cut, it wuld do her good i can tell, but her reaction yesterday and her look... i dont want her to hate me! maby ill get the vet to do it!

You shouldn't need to clip her claws at all. Make sure that she has natural branches for perches - nothing plastic and not smooth pine dowels, the odd rope perch is okay as long as she doesn't chew on it. If she has proper branch perches her claws will look after themselves, and you should only need to trim IF they are causing her problems.
Clipping claws can be rather painful for the bird, and you might find that she will hold up the relevant foot afterwards, even if there hasn't been a bleed.
