Guess who went for the bricks (beak filing)

Zvezda's beak was always slightly overgrown, but it seems today she found one and went at it, it almost seems too much

It's almost leveled with the mouth. What scares me was that within a day she filed her beak down 3mm, she also scratched a bit of her lower nose. The bricks are used to block her off from behind her hide.
Could this be a problem, could she over file her beak?

Could be but looks fine for now. If she decides to do this on a daily basis then it could be a problem. Just keep an eye on her. The norm is they don't do it often.
