Is this beak ok or should I worry...

Post by dayhiker » Thu Aug 14, 2014 9:18 pm

Hi guys,
Purchased 3 gouldians from ne vendor at a bird fair and noticed this.

They are in isolation currently. All are happy active and eating well on bird seed, millet spray and some greens. I have ng powder inherit water currently and sprayed them with insect liquidator. No diarrhea poppies that I noticed.

I did not ask the question because I did not note that the beak deformity or abnormality could be significant; about medications or illness. Could this be scaly beak or a more infestation? None of the other birds have the same affliction.

And of course now I am at work and cannot get great pictures or examine closer,so it's more frustrating.

Should I treat with s76? - and how often? Trim with an Emory board? Just watch for several weeks in quarantine?

Thanks for all your help.

Ed

VERY hard to tell what is going on in those pictures. Maybe if you post clearer pics later when you can??
