My love birds beek????

My lovebirds beek is growing really fast, we have cuttle fish and shell grit for it but it doesn't seem to be working she hasnt been eating alot becouse of it and i'm not sure on what to do can anybody help me.:?|||Make sure she has lots of wooden toys to play with and chew one. Birds are notorious chewers. This is how they keep their beaks in shape. If you are really worried, take her to a vet. It doesn't have to be an avian vet, regular vets can help to. (unless they don't want to do birds) Love bird beaks are pretty large for the size of the bird. I wouldn't worry to much. People that try to keep track of how much their bird is eating, almost always say they aren't eating enough. I think that about my macaws !!! Just always make sure they have lots of toys, and move them around to different places in the cage from week to week, or take old ones out for awhile (Keep them) and put different ones in. Switch back and forth. Keeps them from getting bored, but at the same time they always have some thing to chew on|||My parrotlet is the same, it just grows too fast for him to keep up with filing it down on his sandpaper. You may need to take him in periodically for a beak trim (usually about $10), or you can learn to do it yourself (get someone to hold him upside down in a towel) with a Dremel tool (small craft drill with sandpaper bits) that you buy at a hardware store. Just don't file it too far down or it will bleed. Keep styptic pencils on hand in case you hit a bleeder.|||This problem is not uncommon in Lovebirds,dont worry .


Try the following,A Mineral Block,some thick tree branches such as Apple ,Pear,or Willow,even a block of wood,this will help to keep its beak in trim failing these then you need to see an avian vet or a breeder who will tell or even trim it's beak for you.|||If this is a problem that just developed recently, I would find an avian vet, quick.





Quickly growing beaks and claws are often signs of PBFD, Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease.





This is a very serious, very bad condition, I urge you to at least read the article, and possibly get a health check with an avian veterinarian, just in case.





Just be careful -Lovebirds are one of the birds known for this disease.

Cuttlebone is good but sometimes isn't enough (you don't need the grit, lovebirds don't need it, usually don't even touch it, and it could actually cause problems for the bird, so throw it away and don't bother with it anymore). Mineral blocks, rough perches/toys, and some natural wooden perches the bird can pull apart can help. If that's not enough, the bird needs to go to the vet. The vet should check it for disease, if it checks out healthy, you might just have to periodically take the bird in for beak trims.|||this is a common problem dont worry, if you have tried cuttle fish and a mineral stone you will have to get it trimmed often, we get our cockatiels trimmed at our local pet shop and it costs 拢1.50 not much. x|||take it to the vet|||You need to take it to a avian vet and have it's beak trimed, if you do not he will not be able to eat. DO NOT try and trimm it yourself. If it's as bad as you say the mineral blocks, cuttle bones etc will not do the trick.





The vet should not charge you much to do this. If you can not find an avian vet contact some pet stores that specialize in birds.
