You can see if there is an experienced bird groomer near you, I know in parrots, properly trimming a crossbeak can make a ton of difference.
I’m late to this, but I have a scissorbeak too! (Scarface is her name.) in my experience, if I have a rock in the cage she does pretty well chipping it by herself when it gets too long. I have a wider, shallow bowl I use for her feed so she can access it more easily and it takes her a little longer to eat but she does well. She also uses a bowl to drink as she can’t use the water pipe. If you just make sure they have access to feed, they work out just fine! Had boiled eggs and softer feeds work well for supplementation as well.
Thank u i was meant to be selling whole hatch which i do a bit as i already have 7 adults lol but i fell in love with this oneBest of luck with your scissor beak gal. She's a cutie!
