Toni Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Ok Alcazar started this grindin noise w/ his beak. It's like when a person grinds their teeth. Is this coomon for a grey to do? Not sure if its their way of sharpening their beaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 If he is doing this at night or before he goes to sleep or take a nap it is just something they do, it is a sign of contentment and they all do it. It might have something to do with keeping the beak, especially the lower one in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Judy has it spot on Beak grinding is often a sign of contentment in birds and is heard most often as the bird falls asleep. It is characterized by the side-to-side sliding of one beak over the other. It is believed by some experts that birds grind their beaks to keep them in their best condition.
