Any of your birds have black spots on their tongue?

Fuji’s tongue has a black spot on it. He has always had it. I remember my lineolated parakeet also had this so it got me wondering? What color are your bird(s) tongue(s). Fuji’s is light pinkish with the black dot.

Interesting! Nigel’s tongue is all black, I think that is normal for greys.

Same with Timneh her tongue is like a charcoal black.

Cytrynka's is charcoal black, too. Uniform color, no spots.

Yoda's tongue is mostly pinkish with some black speckles and what looks like a black stripe actually... he was quite disgruntled that I interrupted his neck cuddling time to open his mouth and look at his tongue... but he forgives me.

My GCC has a grey and black tongue, that way since I got her, like a pied tongue, I always figured it was part if the cinnamon color as her heet and beak are light

My Alexandrine's tongue is mostly pink with a black splodge on it...I think it's gross, but I can't stop looking at it!

Lincoln's tongue only has a black tip.

Not my picture but its normal in (male) ekkies

Of course my grey’s tongue is all black. I’m fascinated by Kevin! He “licks” his beak (never seen that before) and it’s cute for sure.

lol----I accidentally pinched my cockatoo's tongue today WITH MY NAIL!!!
She seemed totally calm about it haha.
I was trying to grab a fleck of junk off of her beak and *pinch* haha

I just thought it was weird that Fuji’s had black spots but I guess it is common. I will need to ask my Avian vet next time why some birds have the spots. Unless any of the experts here know?
