I have noticed that the pics on here of your greys their beaks are pointed...Mandy's has been grounded down so there is no point on hers...is that normal to do...I think she has problems with certain hard foods or things like crackers because of her beak being like this

Some parrots do their own filing on both their beaks and claws. Many times, it looks a little extreme but a parrot will never intentionally hurt either of those areas. Some parrots intensely rub their beaks across cage bars and cement perches and mineral blocks and uneven perches which is all normal. Since there's no picture, I can only assume it's a blunt tip. If you can post a picture, that's good or if you feel something is serious, you can go to the vet and have that person check him out.

 

PS---I should also say that many people need to bring their birds to vets in order for the beaks to be filed down.<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2009/11/20 07:09
