yeah, it's most likely he doesnt like being in his cage. It's a big one, and has toys in it that he can chew. But he refuses to do, and chews his feathers. Today morning when we first came in the living room where he is, he was calm. But as soon as he saw us he went "crazy" (rubbing himself on cage like he's trying to get out, chewed his breast feathers). Didnt even touched his breakfast. When he got out, no problem at all, he was cudly, playful, we did some training flying to my arm from many positions in the house. Maybe he doesnt like where his cage is being placed. His back is placed in front of wall, and from right side there is a few metres to a window. I did some mistake when we first brought him home, that I introduced him with my room too soon, cause now he likes the most spending his time in my room.

hello guys again..just to put some update on his beak, for now, there'se no more bloodish thing on his beak, we keep it clean. But now, i've got serious problem also. He chewed all his tail feathers. He started doing that day before yesterday but we thought it's not some serious thing to worry about. Yesterday he chewed his longest tail feathers, and today in the morning we found him without any. here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/m1hE3dM.jpg he is truly chewing it, and eating. I dont know what to do, and i'm afraid he'll start chewing his other feathers as he wont have nothing to chew on his tail. He's doing this mostly when we put him in his cage(he's out most of the day cause somebody is always at home to play with him or just to watch him what's his doing) He then starts doing his thing: hangs down with one leg holding the cage bar, and his beak in his tail feathers chewing it. We tried spraying him, but he most ceirtanly didnt liked it (i sprayed first myself so he sees it's not a bad thing, but nope), so i tried to take a shower with him, he came closer and i could spray him a bit. I'm doing this every two days. i've read about alove vera, so tommorow first thing in the morning, gonna buy it and try to spray him. if anyone have any suggestions, that would be most welcomed.

thank you all for answers.. he's alone in the cage so that wasnt the problem. I think it was the cage..as he was climbing inside, bars were to close to each other and he was rubbing his beak too much/hard. Today he got a bigger cage with wider space between bars. He hasn't lost any appetite and he's playful as before.. and the wound is not getting any worse, so hopefully he'll heal soon

Hello, i have nearly 5 months old Congo, and he seems to have somehow broke his beak a bit. He didnt even fly into glass or wall. My take on this he somehow did this when he was alone in his cage. It didnt bleed, it was just kinda redish when i saw it few hours ago. It seems he isn't feeling any pain, he's just playing around as usual Will this get better bythe time or should we take him to vet? here's a pic of his beak. I'm scared quite a bit. http://i.imgur.com/QBJnucG.jpg my eng is not native, so dont judge
