Also keep in mind, most good quality pelleted diets are pretty balanced and usually you do not need to supplement with extra vitamins, to much of a "good" thing is not always good. Also some vitamins the body can only absorb a certain amount of at a time and will excrete the extra it is taking in.

Once you trim the beak try using flat terracotta plant dishes for seed or foods, make a thin layer of food so the bird has to contact the dish with his beak when eating...when they tap the beak down it helps to keep it trim. Depending on the cause of growth sometimes this works well.

This is a fabulous idea! Thank you!
