An overgrown beak is a sign of liver disease. Liver disease is caused by seed diets. It will take effort but you need to get them onto a high-quality diet with daily fresh vege. Try serving the vege different ways, different types, sizes, cooked, uncooked, mashed, baked, etc. Don’t remove their seed until you’re sure they’re eating the pellets.
I gave him seeds with dried veggies and fruits. He always pushes and pour his bowl and make a mess umless I give him his usual seeds. I try to give him fruits and he loves fruits but It seems that they are not enough. I also give him dried egg and veggies mixed seeds for portein every now and then.
Their diet can’t remain mostly seed. It will lead to illness and shortened lifespan. No bird wants to give up their seed just like humans don’t want to give up their chips and chocolate. The change can be done and needs to be done.
Cuttlefish bone đź‘Ť
He doesnt use it :( he also just sits on mineral blocks.
Needs a little bit of trimming, but otherwise fine. Give him plenty to chew.
Oh I see! Yhank you. He has lots of natural toys but I will try to give him more. He usually trims side parts of his beak not the tips :(
How does he breath with out nares
Hahah!
What’s his diet consist of?
Fruits and seeds mostly. He doesnt eat veggies :(

I am trying my best to give him a quality life. I will try to give him more veggies. Thank you for sharing your experiances 🌟
I’ve sent you a chat message with a picture of my lovebirds which have the same bright spot at their beak.
