When Glory came to us her lower beak was so over grown it extended past the middle of her eye on the left side. At first the vet trimmed it and showed me how to keep it trimmed. Finally, I compared her upper beak to Twiggy's upper beak and gently using a dremel and clippers, I reformed her upper beak to match Twiggy's so that it would properly meet the lower beak and keep natural force on the lower beak, thus resulting in normal growth.
Before forcing the beak into normal position Glory was never able to climb in her cage, play with toys or eat anything but seeds. Now she can do all those things and learns more about toys every week.
Before I reshaped her upper beek I took pictures of her beak and Twiggy's beak and the vet consulted with me and approved of the trimming I wanted to do. In Glory's case, it was a success with two trimmings within 6 months. Now that she can chew and play, I haven't had to touch her beak in over 2 years. di
