My IRN Beak Turning Black

Post by shanna1971 »

Is this normal?? And does it go away eventually? Or how can I fix this?

I don't think this normal. what is he chewing on?. that could be the reason why this is occurring. if you are feeding your IRN a good healthy diet then the IRN's beak should stay the same color. of course it could be a mutation. I would go and see a avian vet.

Hi, is it the upper or lower part of the beak? How old is the bird? If it is a young bird busy maturing the lower part of the beak does turn black as the bird matures, see my pics below of a young bird and then a mature bird :
