Urgent Weird Beak

[Violaxo]

Hey! Me and my budgie viola are new to avian avenue, so I’m not sure if this is the best place to post/ask this but what does it mean when her beak looks like this ? It seems chipped at the end... She’s about 5 months old I think ...

I'm sure budgie people will chime in, but I just see normal wear. Beaks flake as they grow out.

Beaks flake naturally, but sometimes a knock or hard grind can bring off quite a large chunk of the surface. It's purely cosmetic, nothing to worry about and it won't affect her eating. Does she have something to polish her beak on, like a cuttlefish bone?

 

[Violaxo]

Thank you !! Yes she has a cuttle bone has just started nipping it but hasn’t figured out its purpose yet haha

It may be worth investing in a good pedi perch too
