Hi guys.
The last week or so, I've really noticed black streaking on the top of Piper's beak. She didn't have this before, so I'm concerned about it being an indication of an issue that I need to have a vet address.
For the record, she's DNA'd female and will be four years old in spring. She's currently on a diet of Zupreem Naturals and Roudybush Daily Maintenance, Zupreem Pure Fun for enrichment, and she gets Bodacious Birdie Bites chop and sprouted seeds.
Here's a good before picture of her beak:
And this is a picture of her today:
Her last vet visit was a year ago. She had bloodwork and a fecal done with no issues detected. She is behaving 100% normally - eating, pooping, flying around, and being her usual obnoxious self.
The only recent change is that she's taken a keen interest in chewing up wood lately. She will go through a toy strung with 15-20 pieces of 1"x2"x1/4" pine in a few hours. I give her a new one each day.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
