I apologise in advance, because I know there must be posts like this all the time, but I was wondering if I could they some opinions on whether Sherlock’s beak is too long and needs trimming:
When he was last at the vet for a nail trim back in December, she said she didn’t think it warranted a trim, and it hasn’t grown madly since then, but I still wasn’t sure if it might be worth going back in soon. He has no trouble eating or anything like that. He has access to a lava block, cement perched, wooden toys, cuttlefish bones, all that kind of stuff, but I don’t think he really uses them much. Never seems overly bothered. I may just be being over-anxious, but while I’ve seen a few photos of quakers with slightly longer beaks that have been deemed fine, most seem to be much shorter, as his used to be. I didn’t want to run back to the vet and have them do anything he doesn’t actually need. I’ve read a lot of useful advice on various threads here previously, and thought getting some more experienced advice would be best
