Keeping a canary's beak trimmed
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2017 8:49 pm
Hi all,
My new canary has a bit of a point at the tip of his upper beak. I'm worried about it becoming overgrown with time. Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping his beak trimmed the "natural" way? I've tried giving him cuttlebone to help with his beak, but he doesn't seem interested (I'm also worried about him not getting some calcium).
Thanks for any advice!
Edit: this is sort of off-topic, but I thought I'd add that my canary loves chewing on grass. I buy him a little planter full of live grass from Petco and he spends nearly all day on that thing, foraging, pulling out grass shoots, chewing, putting grass in his water dish, etc. It's a really good way to keep your canary entertained!
