Recently the tip of Pepper's beak has a cloudy color to it? What's up? Is this unusual?

A light to moderate amount of flaking or peeling of the beak is not uncommon and in most cases normal, its called sloughing, large areas of discoloration, deep cracks or excessive sloughing could indicate serious health problems such as improper nutrition or liver disease, if you posted a pic, all that came out was a box with a red X in it, if you get that fixed i'm sure there will be members that can give some advice on whether it normal or abnormal :)
 
Ok I see the pic now, kind of a bad angle, but from what I see its looks ok, I've seen that in severes before :)
 
This is what my Rosie's beak looked like just prior to her sloughing at the tip. Just keep an eye on it in case it is not as we are not vets here.
