pigeon's beak keeps growing

[rskellenger]

Her beak is growing too long.....and it's growing crooked. She naturally has a short beak. She isn't grooming herself well either....could it be filed down?

It sure can be but you must be very careful to file little bits at a time so you don't start it bleeding.

I have a rehabbed pigeon like that. I use a baby nail clipper to cut the extended part a little at a time.

If you trim it back to far you can use corn starch, a styptic pencil or even flour to sto the bleeding.
Be carefull you do not cut the tongue.
