FINCHforum

I noticed my male zebra finch has a peely looking beak, so I thought I would just ask if that is normal. This pic pretty much sums up the peeling, and I would prefer not to get another, because he bites.

Looks normal to me.

As I am looking at the pic, you cant really see the peeling. I should put up a zoomed in version.

sparrowsong98 I had 4 of my zebras with this I dunno why but they all just got it out of no where it will go in a week or two my black cheek zebra has still got it

Oh mine it started from the op of the beak near the face and looked like a nail when it’s been picked at and then it carried on until the tip of the beak and went

It’s like a new layer of beak it’s fine honestly

the pink color is pretty but is not common for zebra finch which should be bloody red if we add the peeling so for sure there is an issue , i think there is carotenoid deficiency, supplement some Vitamins [Vit A]

haroun They do not eat veggies, but I have some vitamin drops, I just havent been putting them in. If I put some of those in their water will he be good? The lighting made his beak look a funny color, but it is normally red.
