As I have posted before, Custard has a liver condition and as a result his beak is overgrown.
Last month, we took him to the vet for a beak trim and file.
A few days ago we noticed that he might need another vet visit. However, last night I realised that he’s given himself a trim!
He’d been spending lots of time at the iodine block and cuttlefish, grinding away with his beak.
So, it turns out that he’s escaped a vet visit for the moment. Clever boy.
His beak looks a little stronger than last month too, so hopefully the hepatosyl and aloe juice have been helping him.

He is indeed a clever little Custard. And.......he saved his Mum from another vet's bill. I think that deserves a piece of millet |

Oh, definitely deserves a treat for being so clever.  Good boy, Custard!  Marianne, I certainly hope that the goodies in his diet are helping his poor little liver. If only they could talk .......... sigh. |

I think that deserves a piece of millet I'm not rich (far from it) but I'm just glad he doesn't have to go through the stress of a vet visit at this time. We'll hang on to the cash though just in case. He's on the mirror behind me singing with George |

Is the weight-gain a good thing? Is he a bit on the light side? I wouldn't mind if a couple of mine lost a bit.  |

This is what the beak looked like before the vet trimmed it, it was nowhere near as strong as it is now. It's improved a lot.  |
