My camera quality is terrible so it’s hard to see, but I noticed today Phoenix’s nose looks a little peely. He’s also been scratching it a lot, but it’s been dry here lately. I have a humidifier but I forgot to turn it on this morning, so he went over 24 hours without it.
Should I be concerned over it? He was just at the vet a couple of days ago and his lungs were checked, vet said they were all good

I see that alot. I think all birds have it to some degree & its usually not cause for concern.
Still I'd be interested in the discussion.

Penny has a ridge down her beak which I think is something specific to Hawkheads

Thanks! I thought it was probably no different than when their feet sometimes get a little dead skin but I thought I would double check... cute pics! :heart:

Oh yes I’m familiar with the beak peeling but I meant his cere :D It’s got little flakes on it like it’s been peeling, I’m not sure if that’s something normal like shedding skin or if it’s hormonal or something else
