In Reply to: Our 7 year old paraket's beak posted by Kaylee Behm on July 21, 2005 at 23:05:44:
: My Parakeet's name is Tweety and his beak has become very long and curls like a hook back up around his face. He doesn't use the scratch stones or toys in his cage. I'm afraid he's not getting enough to eat, even though his food seems to get lower , I wonder if he's getting any in his stomach, he's always down at his food bowl. What should I do to help him? At this point, you'll probably need to take the bird to a veterinarian to have the beak trimmed. A possible cause is a mite infestation. Canaries, Parakeets, and Finces should be sprayed once a week with a avian insecticide with .05% pyrethrin as the active ingredient. A veterinarian can solve the problem using ivermectin.
