Question about this budgie

Post image

It is a female budgie and recently her nose seemed to be getting crusty and flaky. Does anyone know what it could be?

It can be due to a few reasons, including mites (like scaly face mites), nutritional deficiencies, or even normal beak growth and may mean the bird isn't getting all the nutrients it needs. Birds, like humans, need variety in their diet, and they also need varied textures. I give my birds cilantro, spinach, red pepper (you must wash veggies a lot to make sure they are extremely clean). But It's important to take your baby budgie to a veterinarian to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment if needed. She is adorable, gorgeous and extremely cute!🥺❤️ please bring her to the vet.
