A while ago I posted a picture of Cocoa's beak. It was a bit too long and possibly too pointy, affecting her eating. Apparently, when she was surrendered to the shelter it was very overgrown and more of a spoon shape and the Vet did some dremmeling but did not want to do too much all at once.
My Vet suggested a little more be done once she settled in but Cocoa decided to take things into her own "hands." With the help of a scratchy perch and some wood toys, she did it herself and it looks great!
Here she is when I first got her:
The half-completed project - a bit rough with a blunt tip
Today! The finished product. Good job Cocoa!

Just be careful that the scratchy perch isn't wearing down her feet too. When I got Quack her beak was so pink, not a bit of white to come off as she was keeping it filed on a sandpaper perch, almost a bit too much. And her feet were a bit too pink too. Now I have to trim her beak as I moved her sandpaper perch from her food dish to her toy bucket (not used as frequently) but at least her feet aren't as bad.
