Hi everyone I have a 9mth old male Caique Franky. I am worried about his beak flaking recently. From what I have researched a certain amount is normal. Can someone please advise if I should be concerned and take him to the vet. He has a good healthy pellet and vegetable diet so I am hoping it's not a vitamin deficiency.

Looks like normal flaking to me too.

Does he have lots of things to chew? Chewing helps keep the beak neat and tidy.

Thanks, appreciate your help. My first Caique so a lot to learn. Only had Gouldians and Budgies before so haven't experienced beak flaking.
