Flakey Beak

[Samka]

Hello,

My conures beak has been flaky for the last few months and tonight a good size piece came off. Is that normal?

He is a 5 year old Green Cheek Conure whom I’ve had since he was a baby.

They will shed bits of beak so the beak doesn’t get too thick, so yes, some shedding is totally normal.
Offer a variety of chewing materials to help your bird maintain its own beak.

Mine loves Bulsa wood too! He has way too many toys lol, so plenty of materials to chew on. I’m just so glad it’s normal!
