White capped pionus beak chipping?

[n0lan_i]

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you all are having a great start to the Spring season.
I was hoping to get the community's input on my pionus, Jiminy, and the condition of his beak.

I've noticed a little wear on his beak this week, moreso than it's ever been. I've attached a photograph for reference. Do you guys think it's worth taking him to the vet?

For context, I am aware that pionus parrots don't have an oil gland which contributes to their "chipped" appearance.

Also, Jiminy has tons of wooden toys he plays with and chews on on a routine basis. He gets tons of outside-cage time. He also has a consistent diet of ZuPreem pellets, and a variety blend of vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc. Disposition wise he seems really happy and healthy, but I also know parrots can disguise illness if they have any.

Would appreciate any immediate thoughts or suggestions you all may have. Thanks so much!

I'm no expert, but this looks like normal peeling to me. If he has an avian vet (which hopefully he does!) you could always call the office and run it by them? But my instinct would be to say that's just a typical Pi beak.

My pionus' beak always looks like that, especially the layers by the top corners. When the top layer on the corner gets frail enough I can usually peel it off gently with my nail, but in general I just leave it alone. It never seems to bother her.

They typically have the edges and sides a bit beat up so I think shes fine too.
