A parrot grabbing a tail was hilarious.

I had one cat who showed up with the last couple of inches of her tail
hanging on be the skin. It didn't seem to bother her but while she was
busy eating with her tail lying on the floor I did a tailectomy with a
paring knife.

What really bother the cat was the tail didn't look right and she spent
a lot of time chewing and grooming it to try to get it to come to a
point like a proper tail.

I did that with a parrot's toenail. But I just pulled it off. He soon forgave me as he was more comfortable without it. They don't grow back unfortunately.
