Black Beak In An Adult Budgie

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi there

 

I noticed in the past few days that my pet budgie Balki has got some black on his beak. He is about 1.5 years old. Just wanted some advice or if anyone knows what this could be from. He seems healthy and is his normal self. Could there be a possible health problem?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Sometimes I've seen it in my budgies ... I've never considered it a symptom of anything nasty. :D

It looks like he has rubbed it on something... Does it come off?

Hi there,I was thinking it may have been the newspaper although Ive never seen Balki chew on it before but it might be a new habit he now has and I havent noticed. I dont know if it comes off. Balki does not like to be touched and bites very hard.

Thanks, that's a relief :)

Yes just looks like he has rubbed it on something :D it wwill probably rub off.

It is not all that unusual particularly in this variety. Clearwing
