Budgies needs care, but not just any care. They need the RIGHT care. Some procedures are stressful so we should make sure we are being intentional with our care. 
1. Budgies don't need beak trims, regardless of what toys or cuttlebone or perches are in the cage. They are able to keep their beaks trim simply by the grinding they do during the day. If your budgie's beak is overgrowing, take them to an avian veterinarian to check for underlying illness or a beak deformity. 
2. Budgies also don't need regular nail trims. Their nails are what they use to climb the cage bars and perches in their environment and cutting them overly short is not recommended. Nail trims should be reserved for them the length of the nail is affecting the safety or function of the foot. For example, if the toe or foot is twisting because of the nail length, then a bit should just be taken off that one nail, not all of them at once. Most budgies go a lifetime never needing a nail trim. Out of my 5 permanent flock budgies in the last 10 years, only FitC needs nail trims and she only gets her two large front toes trimmed once a year maximum. Sometimes, the nail isn't long. It's sharp. This means the perch setup needs to be changed in order to keep the tips of the nails less sharp. 
3. Wing clippings. Wing clipping is really an outdated practice and not only limits the major means of transportation and self-defense, it also sets them up for dangers inside the home, increased stress, and increased health issues as a result of being clipped. It is recommended to keep parrots fully flighted and teach them strong flight skills so that they can navigate the home on the wing fluently and safely. Appropriate precautions should be made by those in the home to prevent escapes regardless of wing clip status since birds clipped quite severely can still fly quite a large distance on a small gust of wind and panic alone.

I found that my budgies nails stay well groomed with a coconut in their cage to stand on. ♥️🇺🇸

We buy things that our budgies can go chew on in their cage and it helps to keep their beak at a normal size😊

Clipping has a reason some birds hurt themselves or kill themselves by flying. They rather have it clipped instead of let them die from flying

Yea i havent cut my budgies nails in years . Mainly because the are so small and im afraid ill squish them they do grow slow . They can still get caught if you have an old rope that is frayed or has a bunch of matted strings just get rid of it.

One of birds needed nails and beak trimmed while the other one didn't. Both had plenty of means to trim themselves.

Wing clipping doesnt keep them from flying and maybe even puts them even more at danger.

Budgies wings need to be cut if it is a baby so it doesn’t fly away if it is hand raised baby budgies jump around a lot I’m gonna tell you that for free❤

I lost my budgie because i stopped clipping his wings
One day he panicked and flew and hurt himself and die

I am still heart broken and in shock even though it's been 6 months

I stopped clipping because of bad advices like yours and caused me my baby to die horrific death
So think before giving advices

My dad gave me a budgey (pretty young) and I feel like his nails are so long, what length should it be? And his feet is hot af and has a yellow/red thingy on his feet and can’t seem to be balanced which kinda makes sense cuz he lost a finger (idk why he’s new and no one wanted him so I took him) so please if any of y’all have tips or know the reason behind that shit tell me
