Hi everyone, I am a proud owner of a lovely little pineapple conure I adopted at 1 year of age called Bella. Recently I have been minding my friends green cheek conure called kiwi. I have been minding him for 3 weeks and I have noticed a white mark growing on his beak, I have been researching and i think it may be due to rubbing his beak but I wanted to get some other opinions.
It started a few days ago and has been getting worse, I have noticed he does tap his beak against his cage and rubs it against it, I was not sure if that was a sign of aggression or nervousness so I tried distracting him with puzzles and treats. He has a great diet I have been keeping him on the pellet mix his owners pre prepared and feeding him the same fruit and vegies I give my little girl (she looks fine and displays no white mark or any mark so I don't think it's diet related) his poos seem of normal consistency and colour and he eats well. Any suggestions as to what this could be and what I should do? I want to do the best by him while he is in my care and I'm a little concerned for him
