My goodness! That's incredible. It seems to manage very well with that long beak. I suppose for some reason it's just not wearing away. If it was a domestic bird like a budgie, we would have taken it to the vet to have it's beak clipped.
It almost looks like a different species or subspecies. Amazing. Thank your friend for allowing us to see the clip.
