On March 12th, we took Lera to the vet for a beak trim. Thirty days later, we had to take her back for another. She’s always chewing, so it’s amazing how quickly it grew back.

Here she is before and after her first visit (March):Here she is right after her clip job this weekend.

Not pictured – Harvey (who was there for moral support). The vet tech clipped off the end then filed it down with a dremel. I couldn’t watch – but Lera handled it like a trooper. Hopefully it won’t grow again. If it does, she might need some tests to make sure she doesn’t have an underlying illness.

Here she is before and after her second visit (April):Much better. When we got home, she had some food and a nap, then was back to her usual hijinks. She seems much happier with her shorter beak.
