Totally and completely unnecessary and will result in trapped food particles and unsanitary conditions. The best food and water bowls are terra cotta saucers sunk into the substrate, and then I go with large tubs for water and fast for trays for food as they get larger and move outside. If you are feeding the right foods, the beak will always be in good shape and never need any sort of maintenance from you. I took in rescues with over grown beaks and the beaks corrected themselves within a month or two, and never needed any attention from me.
