Posted January 31, 200916 yr All of a sudden, Cosmo has a big crack in his beak. The photo doesn't really show it well but it also seems like the top layer near the crack is thinly flaked... as in, it looks pale because it's probably got a little air under it. But I would say that is just part of it being cracked. Is this normal? How could it have happened? Yesterday it was fine. Just wanted to check if you think it is anything, and if it is, what could I do to help? Close up of the beak Posing for you all
January 31, 200916 yr Oh he is a cutie Is the crack just in the top layer of the beak or is it deep? He may have bumped into something and the crack will grow out. Budgies also get lines and flaking in the beak when its growing... but i agree this looks a little more than that. Provided its not nutritional, it looks like it should grow out fairly quickly.
January 31, 200916 yr Author Thanks Liv It is only the outer layer.... actually straight after I posted this, he scratched it with his foot and this flake fell off. It looks a lot better now although the underneath layer is a bit rougher than the outside layer was. He has been moulting recently and looks healthy otherwise, so hopefully it is nothing!
