Beaktrim!!

[Katherine]

My newest addition got a nose job- and she hates me now I hope this does not become a routine procedure for us. Looking at her now I wonder if more should've come off? Regardless I hope a diet change and and outdoor enclosure will keep it where it should be from here on out...

To keep the beak down put its food on a flat rock and web it bites it will scrape off slowly I've done it and it works

Thank you for the solid advice. She eats off a slate tile and as you suggested I suspect that (in addition to grazing) should keep her beak at bay. Time will tell

Nice trim! How did she react when you trimmed it?

It was done with a dremel tool and she was given a sedative; soooo she loved it because she had no idea it was happening haha. She is brand new to me and gets agitated and stressed easy when being handled; she would not have cooperated at all had she been alert.
