bird beak

one of my male budgies cannot seem to keep his beak trimmed it looks like an eagle beak he has real tree branches, cuttle bones and mineral blocks and his beak still grows longer that the other birds.

Hi,

The best thing to do is take the bird to an avian vet. There are parasites, diseases and disorders that can affect the beak in this manner. Nothing you give him to chew on will make a difference because this is a medical issue.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
