My lil pal has symmetrical stripes running down the sides of his beak that are grey and quite prominent. I know that some cockatiels have pink beaks and some have grey and i've heard some mutations can have just grey markings but I haven't come across any with such dark grey stripes like him. Is this just a colouration or I worry it could be bruising from the cage bars since they're so parallel in shape ied:
here's a picture so you can hopefully see it clearly
Yours is a pearl pied bird. Many pied bird or split to pied bird will have black strips mark on beak. That is one typical mark to tell are bird is pied or split to pied.

Today I found sores on the bottom of my bird's foot while I was playing with her that I'm pretty sure is bumblefoot. All the vets near me are closed and the ones that are open arent avian vets. I also cant really leave my home as I am isolating with very vulnerable people and would be putting...
Hi again, I just wanted to get some advice on whether I should take my cockatiel back to the vet or not. I took her in last week on Wednesday because she was sniffling and had a very small tail bob. I can’t remember exactly what the vet said, I think she said she was just slightly congested. She...
