I don't think its food or dirt. It's so evenly on both sides of the beak. Very special! Yes, but beautiful!

Thats a hard one. Do you think it could be stained with food? Beautiful regardless.

Shouldn't the front beak of this beauty be more yellow already? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4ee65d3c422b535fe54b1d1a0e68a2f1f756eb5cedf0d663860476f561e85a80.png
