Hi All
The other day I noticed that the top part of my birds' beaks were much redder than the bottom part which was more orange. Someone suggested that the bottom orange part was probably due to a nutrition problem in the past. Probably about six months ago, I changed from feeding them with multicoloured pellets and one or two types of pieces of veges and fruit every day to feeding a chop mix which has grains and lots of veges throughout it and a better brand of pellet. I also usually give them a whole piece of vege to chew on. Any way, I think that is probably what has improved their beak quality. It's funny, I didn't realise how orange their beaks were before until I noticed the top part was way redder than the bottom.
