Beak on my SUNNY

[tbird]

Sunny is six months old and I noticed his beak is shaded and looks like it is peeling it's on the middle of his beak. Should I be concern? I am new to grey forums (this is an awsome site) I have attached some pictures I hope I did it currectly. Thanks for all your help

It's a combination of peeling and scraping. I can see that the bird is young so that happens often with a soft beak. It doesn't look like anything to worry about. Two things----

1---You'll eventually see what looks like a crack going from left to right on the beak. The beak isn't cracking. New growth is coming in and replacing the softer top layer.

 

2---As your grey gets older, he'll lose all of that nice shiny black color on the beak and it'll be replaced by a scratchy greyish color. That happens after a long time of rubbing the beak on different things.

Enjoy the nice and shiny and smooth beak while you can.

 

Forget that red line on the face--it was for something else

Thanks Dave, I thought it was nothing to be worried about but wanted the expert's opinion so there you go Tbird Sunny is just fine.

Forget the beak, Dave! Your Grey has an arrow stuck in his eye! You must have a few Quakers on the war path
