If you're seeing white lesions in his mouth or on the inside of his beak it could indicate an issue such as a bacterial or yeast infection that has taken hold. If you're seeing streaking on the outside of the beak, it could indicate a cracked beak from an injury or even poor nutrition/underlying illnesses. If it's impeding his ability to eat or the lesions are on the inside of his beak/mouth it is best to seek veterinary care to try and find the underlying cause and get treatment. Making sure Kiko is on a diet that is formulated for parrots can also ensure he's getting the right nutrients. You can offer fruits and vegetables as extras, but a balanced diet is needed for optimal health.
