Poor Sky. I would recommend taking him to a vet for a proper beak trim so he can start eating normally. Typically over grown beaks are actually due to nutrition. I would recommend taking his diet with you to the vet to discuss how to change his food to prevent beak over growth and possibly take him for more routine trimmings. hope tha thelps
