My bird's beak seems overgrown. Is this normal or does it need trimming?

[]

Answer

An overgrown beak in a bird is typically not normal and can be a sign of nutritional deficiencies, liver disease, or trauma. If left untrimmed, it can interfere with eating, preening, and even breathing. Beak trimming should always be done by a veterinarian or an experienced avian specialist, as improper trimming can cause pain, bleeding, or damage to vital structures. It's best to have your bird evaluated to determine the underlying cause and ensure safe and proper care. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
