Black tip beak

User Question
My bird is eating a lot more than normal and his beak is bigger than the bottom part. it looks like a piece was chipped off and it has black coloring at the tip. Can you tell me what is wrong with my bird??

Always go to a vet if you see strange things happening with your bird. If you're feeding the keet green veggies sometimes they get a bit of green stain on their beak, but a beak really shouldn't turn black (except on newborn keets which sometimes have black beaks).
