Question
how do you trim a red lord amazon parrotts beek? my inlaws have one and the beek is too long it is starting to turn in toward the chest.  

Answer
This bird needs to be taken to an avian vet to have the beak professionally trimmed and filed down. It is not safe for you or your inlaws to do this on their own.

You can find an avian vet in your area by searching these websites:

I hope this helps.
