Too much Iodine bar ?

[rozenda]

Hi I am new to the forum and wanted to ask if it is normal for my two budgies to have fallen in love with the iodine block ?! They are eating and drinking properly but the love the darn thing so much that today they have pink 'beards' They are c14 weeks old and I have had them for almost 4 weeks, but was unable to get an Iodine block and a Cuttlefish until this week. 
Hope you can help as although a pink 'beard' is quite cute I want to make sure they are not overdoing it.
Edited to say I have removed it for the moment and I am getting very black looks from the boys

I shouldn't worry too much, they are very good at only ingesting what they need, the rest is probably on the
floor or as you on their beards
Its a novelty to them at the moment, my hens have torn through an iodine block and a whole cuttlefish in a day when they were in destruction mode, you are sure they are boys?, just a thought

Thank you for the reply and it is good to know they are just being normal. I got them, yes they are definately boys, from an excellent local breeder as company for myself as I have anxiety and depression and quite frankly need something to take my mind off myself and to look after. I had a couple of budgies over the years but my last one died very young about 15 years ago and it broke me so I didn't get another until now. 

Still gettting used to the noise bless 'em !

We love pictures, can we have some of your beautiful boys please?

Sam and Ollie, Sam was originally called Stan but after about a week I started calling him Sam so that is his name now. I didn;t name them after Laurel and Hardy but just wanted two names that went together.
