Gaugan keeps her beak nicely trimed, she does chew pine wood a lot and every night she is sharpening her beak. She can break into any almond herself. Sunny is still practicing keeping his beak sharp enough, and sometimes needs help with almonds. The poor Senegals I saw at the rescue here had quite long beaks, not so long they couldnt eat but it showed me one of the things such a small life can do at one glance. The two plucked Senegals even worse.
With Isis Redbelly, she may not be able to chew anything harder than carboard yet. With Rescue Pois i have had or seen it takes a while for them to build up the "muscles" they need to chew hard things, and sometimes a while for the urge to come back. in my house the pine slabs get chewed like crazy, and Gaugan is a big chewer so Sunny is likely folowing her lead. At my daughters there is much less chewing, because her Senegal has to build up for it and her Meyers is still young. Sunny loves this one little box that is filled with crimped paper and has a couple pine slabs on it that one of the places I get parrot supplies sends for free. He destroys it in one day, working all day on it. Gaugan is happy when he is so busy, she can explore around everything like she likes to do without him constantly wanting to be around her......lol
