Hello Dr. Rob. This is my first post. I have been raising Gouldians for about 4 years now. Rarely will I have an illness. I will say their diet is good and consistent. But since I moved to AZ. my birds have developed crossed beaks and the sides of the beaks grow and hang over the bottom beak. I file and cut, but the problem keeps coming back. I would tell you everything they eat etc. but I wanted your first reaction to the problem. I would appreciate your help, since everyone I know doesn't know what the problem is, including the vet. Thank you again.
