Dark spot on beak? Normal?

Post by saragoescrazy » Sun Oct 08, 2006 11:11 am

I'm just curious while I'm getting medication for the air sac mites on my finches that everything else is okay. I noticed today that my red female (which is one with air sac mites, with the male star that I bought a few days ago) has a bit of a dark spot on her upper beak... is that normal and just a normal part of being a female and her colouring? Or could it be something?

There's a picture of all my female stars. She's the red one and you can see the dark spot on the top of her beak...

I'm just being way overly cautious. :-)

Thank you,
Sara

Beak dark spot

Is she relatively young? I learned that juvenile zebras beaks have dark spots until they mature a bit...If it isn't one thing, it's another! Good luck with your other birds...they sure are cute!
