Lola would need to go to an avian vet and have bloodwork done to determine if his beak overgrowth was due to an underlying health concern, esp. if his behavior/actions appears to be normal otherwise.
Do you have a recent photo of Lola showing his beak?
In the meantime, perhaps he needs some help grooming his beak. I like to keep one or two grooming perches in a cage, particularly when a bird has been known to rub their beak on perches. Pickle, for example ALWAYS wipes his beak after eating, so I have a Sandy Perch in between is food and water dishes (he soaks his food). Higher up in the cage he has another type of grooming perch (can't recall the name) that he uses while he plays.
Best of luck!
