Baby conures beak peeling/flaking

Postby Taleah1989 » Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:07 pm

My sun conures beak is peeling! I only have an iPhone n it doesn't allow me 2 upload pics so I can show what I mean but basically it's peeling and flaking he seems more then happy for me 2 wipe his beak and get any bits off he's not in pain all behavior is still the same it's just I asked the breeders about it n they said they have never seen or heard of it. I just thort I'd ask if any1 else has experienced this b4 I rush him off 2 the vet. My mum has alexandrines n their beaks have peeled. If any1 can provide advise I'd b really greatful!

It's probably normal. I believe their beaks peel a little bit as they grow. No reason to be alarmed, but as always, take your bird to an avian vet if you feel concerned or see signs of illness.
