Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / November 2003Parakeet Overgrown Beak
I have a parakeet and its beak seems to be very overgrown. The entire cage is filled with beak trimmers, bones, the perch has a sandpaper cover but the bird just refuses to trim its beak on those on its own. What other options are there for beak trimming other than taking the bird to a vet..  SignatureSteve, I-Net+ Ultimate Sports Forum - http://www.houstonsportstalk.com PC Tech Support - http://www.webzila.com Could be mites or a serious disease. Spend the money for a vet visit on this. http://www.birdvet.com.au/birdcare/Bird%20Facts%2028%20Long%20beak.htm karen > I have a parakeet and its beak seems to be very overgrown.

It'll only end up causing your bird foot problems. DC Take him to an Avian Vet soon. An overgrown beak could indicate other problems (so I have been told) Make sure it is an Avian Vet. Also, I wouldn't try trimming a beak myself. There are all sorts of blood vessels that can be cut.

Overgrown beak can be a sign of liver disease. It soulds like you are not really sure that it *is* actually too long. The only thing I can suggest is a visit to an avian vet. Is there any particular reason you are so against it? | > I have a parakeet and its beak seems to be very overgrown.

And uh Sorry dude, but I've been insulted by people whose job that it was to insult and break me and your attempts are very amateurish in comparison. And as much as I'd like to say that I was "surprised" at your attempt to insult me I am not. As insults are more often then not the last resort of the intellectually challenged.

No, I didn't miss it. I have no desire to make friends (allies, or anything like that) here. I'm really wondering why you either don't know that, think that you could possibly change it, or think that I even care. > | > And uh Sorry dude, but I've been insulted by people whose job that it was to > insult and break me and your attempts are very amateurish in comparison. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > That you are a bloody amateur. Yes, we've already decided that. But was does my being a mere insult amateur have to do with anything? I want to know. btw - you seem to be trying to insult me. Please see your comment below on using insults. > | > And as much as I'd like to say that I was "surprised" at your attempt to > insult me I am not.

You spend too much time worrying about what other people say even though you know damn well that you will not change a God damned thing. > | > DC > | [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > DC That would be the real DC. Aren't you paying attention? -- Steve You need to take him to an avian vet (not a regular vet with no avian training) and have his beak expertly trimmed (extremely dangerous if done wrong---blood vessels could be cut). They will also try and determine the cause of the overgrowing beak. Dave > I have a parakeet and its beak seems to be very overgrown.
