Question

Finch beak spot
I have 2 male finches that I recently got.  One of them has a white discoloration on his beak. Originally i thought it was some of the cuttle bone but Its been there for about 24 hours.  Should I be worried?

Answer
Sounds almost like a vitamin deficiency. This is easily remedied, just add some vitamin powder to the food (this powder can be bought at most major pet stores). If this doesn't make it go away then don't worry about it. Just make sure they have something to keep their beaks trim (cuttle bone) and the right kind of food.
