Is this something we might have to eventually do for Mo? How can we avoid it? When do we know he’s ready?

Mo is now two years old....

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Start feeding off a hard slate/rock. This will naturally wear down the beak.

The best thing to start doing is to always have a cuttlebone available and feed on a rock/slate/rough surface. Nibbling at cuttlebone and daily eating on a rough surface should keep any beak trimming unnecessary.
