Long beak

[ally mac]

This stock cocks top beak has grown past the bottom half and curves down. havent seen it on any of the other birds. Is there any reason, would you ever have to trim a pigeons beak.

Rubbing down with sandpaper will do the job.

As far as I remember this technique is used to keep the beaks of certain fancy breeds short.

thats nothing to worry about, it will keep worn down on pickstones if not use a nail file!

Never one to use modern techniques I didn't think on power tools.
