    We are off to the vet again on Monday. Another beak trim. I'm hoping this isn't going to have to be a forever monthly visit thing. I'll try and get a good pic of his beak, head on, for you to see.

    Wow, he is so beautiful. Does he mind having his beak trimmed?

    He is playing with his toy so gently! What a sweet guy. Hopefully he won't have to go to the vet so often in the future.

    Probably about as much as we like going to the dentist.

    Last month when we were at the vets, I was in the room while the dremel came into play. I will not do that again. I could tell he wasn't happy and it made me very uncomfortable having to watch. Much like Jean-Pierre suggests..a tooth being drilled comes to mind! He was toweled and held blindfolded. I can only imagine that he's had to go through this procedure many times through his life with a crooked beak. I'm hoping my vet is correct in thinking this can be improved with regular trims.

    He really is a sweetheart, Kendra. Today we set up our Christmas tree and I made sure he was in the room, on his perch, to witness the whole development of a tree growing in his living room . I didn't want him freaking out when I bring him out tomorrow. My neice and her 8yr. old daughter were here helping and Shaggy was totally groovy with everything going on. Yayyy!..Shaggy!!

    Can you see how his upper beak leans to his right? It rubs on that lower beak's point and therefore allows the other side to continue to grow. He's not a huge chewer of wood but I keep trying.

    I do see it now, and that is one powerful looking beak. I hope the trimming helps.
