Re: Color change in the UPPER beak

Thank you! That's helpful! (And it took me forever to figure out how to post pics too! I think you have to first put them on Flickr or something like that, then post the shared URL from it.) :lol:

Color change in the UPPER beak

Hello! My 19-year-old, Kali, is healthy and happy, but over the last couple of years the upper part of her beak has grown increasingly black. It's really ramped up over the last 6 months or so.
