Hi, I bought a budgie three days ago from a pet shop. I've noticed that he has an almost crusty beak and cere, which is quite worrying. He's my first bird, so I don't know what scaly face looks like and all the photos I could find on google were quite extreme cases in comparison to him.
Here's a photo of his beak and cere:

Can anyone tell me if it's an actual problem, or if I'm just overreacting? I thought I'd get some input from more experienced bird owners...
Is this scaly mites?
