Beak rubbing

Post by quin0112 »

Hi everyone,

My Alexandrine parrot is constantly rubbing it's beak on the cage bars and it seems to be getting more obsessive by the day. At first I wasn't too concerned but now it's poor beak is starting to look really scratched up... is this behaviour normal or maybe a sign of boredom?? How can I help my poor little parrots beak look nice and healthy again?

Thanks for any advice :D

is it mainly after eating? all my birds (alex and ringnecks) do it but not all the time like you described. Maybe try giving him something to chew on like a nice big branch and try to distract him from doing it.
