Re: Piece/pieces broken off beak

Hi Ladies

Just to let you know i have Jonny booked in with vet to trim it down professionally. I'm sure he will feel much better when it is done. Thanks again for all your advice.

Stay safe

Tina & Jonny

Re: Piece/pieces broken off beak

Hi Nina Thank you and i hope you are keeping well my dear. Oh i will definitely be careful and if he does seem stressed at all i will leave as its not a massive over hang. In fact in writing this i may leave and just keep an eye on it. Hopefully lots of chomping will do the trick. Thank you both so ...

Re: Piece/pieces broken off beak

Hello Lin No there is no swelling at all. Oh that is a relief! He does get the stems and i don't just pick the young leaves, he gets some old tougher ones too. But i must confess i used to chop it up for him but this last two years he has had to do it himself, so maybe this has been the problem!. I ...

Re: Piece/pieces broken off beak

Hi Lin Sorry Pics are a bit blurry, combo of him moving and my hands shaking! I think you can just see a piece missing? His beak is a bit overgrown i think? But i am hoping it will trim down its self or i will gently file with nail file. He does eat the edibles we grow for him on the slate pieces we...

Piece/pieces broken off beak

Good evening and i hope you are all well. This evening i noticed on Jonny's mouth that he has some pieces missing on the side, i am sure it was not like this yesterday. I sat feeding him flowers and was near to him on the ground and that's how i noticed it. I am really worried what this could be or ...
