beak too long?

[Yingg]

hi, i was just wondering if her beak was too long. it costs $40 for a trim at the vet so i was wondering if there was an at-home way that isn't stressful.

i know her beak is on the long side already, so i plan on going to a vet soon anyway! thank you

Aw bless you I see you’re already wanting to address the beak, I think she looks like she could do with a bit of a trim yes, it’s not the worst I’ve come across
I’ve read some people very CAREFULLY trim slightly with a nail clipper and file with a nail file, but tbh yours is at a slightly tricky ‘inbetween’ length, where its long enough that it could do trimming back, but not so long that it’s going to need a drastic amount doing to it, you may find this hard to do at home so if you aren’t confident I’d probably recommend the vet do it

If you aren’t already, feeding on slate should hopefully help moving forward

Yes, I agree, it could use a trim.
