In nature, the beak and claws of birds are normally worn off by themselves, having a constant comfortable length. This happens under the influence of temperature changes, changes in humidity. The claws are erased on various surfaces when the owl walks on foot or grabs branches and pebbles with its paws. The beak is erased when cutting prey into small pieces.
Many people think that when a bird rubs its beak on branches, it sharpens it. No, it doesn't sharpen. The bird thus cleans off the remnants of food or some dirt from its beak. The beak does not sharpen on branches, except perhaps only in a woodpecker. The beak is sharpened while eating.
Well, in owls and other birds of prey living in a room with constant temperature and humidity, having soft and easy to prey and cut food in the diet, the beak and claws can outgrow. Periodically, owls need to be helped and shortened by the overgrown beak with claws, so that it is more convenient to live.
In the little owl Luchik, the length of the beak and claws was not very critical, but they were very sharp. This is not safe, considering that the owl constantly runs over my head and bites the owl Kutusha.
As a result, we secured the owl Luchik for others.
