my african grey parrot has started to grow another beak2007-11-24 17:23:32

any one no why or is this normal the beak is comeing underneath the other shes healthey in every other way ive had her a year shes six years old

Answers:

do you mean that it looks like new beak is growing from the present beak like a ridge is forming or the beak seems to be flaking and a new tip is growing? If it is this it may be that there has been a calcium deficiency in its diet or it has damaged its beak and is repairing itself.

. Beaks grow like our finger nails and if there is a dietary deficiency this may show as a ridge or malformation in the beak or claws. Take the bird to an avian vet for advice about this.

If you can take it to PetSmart or a veterinary office, they will be able to give you some good advice. She might just be one of those unique birds that this has never happened to before. You could enter her in a circus! Good luck!

A second beak? That's handy, maybe it's for speaking another language.
