African Grey beak

[Alacranred22]

We got a 20 year old African Grey. We have wooden floors and he keeps hitting it with his beak. I saw he has a break on his beak. Is this normal?

looks like it is an old break so i would just wait it out and it should grow back normal

I have had similar on my African Grey.
usually it just flakes off.
one day you will look and it’s just gone..

here is a link to when I had a problem with My AG. Beak

Looks like you have great advice so far. I just came on to say that our boy (10 yo) loves banging on the hardwood floors, too. At least he can't sneak up on us...he loves going after toes

Yes lol same here. Now I also noticed that he bangs on the wood floor when he is near my hand and when he gets on my hands he starts to make his sounds and trying to hump my hand 🥴

Please do not allow this behavior. Look on the forum for hormones. You want to discourage/not allow this behavior as your parrot will be frustrated that you are not mating with them and they may get angry.

I discouraged the behavior and that is why I came here for advise. I can't even get close to him now as he starts making the mating sounds.
