Fledglings birds (1 Viewer)

Recently I have been seeing a lot of American Crow Fledglings and Western Scrubjay's Fledglings. And I have been noticing that the birds are like almost sanding their beeks on the bird bath or the tree. I have never seen this done before by them and was curious as to why they did so. Does anybody here know why they do that? I'm not sure if sanding is the right word or if they do peck their beeks on the bird bath or tree branch. I hope someone understands what i'm talking about. Thank you.

Hi Abbygirl, haven't seen you on in a while, welcome back.
I've seen birds do this also, I'm pretty sure they are just cleaning their beaks.

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering about that too. but Wasn't sure if they were cleaning or sharpening their beaks. It would make sence. But i'm surprised they would clean their beaks on Hard surface like the edge of the bird bath. Thanks again!
