I'd love her in a heartbeat...wait I kinda do. It does look like the beak has grown a bit. They are resilient little birds.

Who knows if it will ever fully grow back, but it looks really good and it sounds like she's adjusting well.
She’s doing great and it’s still showing signs of growth. Either way she can function just fine. She eats all the hard stuff now and can climb and grab for the most part with her beak. So she will be fine no matter the outcome.

I don’t think you’ll get a reply here… this is an old thread and the OP hasn’t been online here since 2019

Have you been to an Avian Vet? Some Vets can do prosthetic beaks. Best of luck to your bird. :)

My black capped conure Wall-E got her upper beak broken off on June 8th. She was given antibiotics for 15 days and pain medication for 7. The first 2 weeks she could only eat puréed food or baby food. She was also given a special formula for injured birds. She has slowly been able to eat soft fruits and veggies, shell less seeds, and pellets soaked in baby food to soften them. The 3 pictures are as follows. Picture 1 Day 0. The day it happened. Picture 2 is last week when it started peeling. Picture 3 is today. It peeled more and is a little read. The vet said as long as there isn’t pus and she is eating and being normal she’s fine. We have a follow up appointment on the 13th of this mont, so a week and a half. The vet gave her a more than 50% chance of her beak growing back. I think it’s already grown some in the 24 days since it happened. She is starting to preen herself and play with toys. We have a second female bird, Pickle a gcc, that has been nothing but kind and help her preen and cuddle her. 4th picture is Wall-E and Pickle just because they’re cute!

This member hasn’t been here for 3 years. They’re unlikely to get your message ;)

My vet is going to talk to the Avian vet about 3 hours from here today with pictures and decide if they can do anything to help and what exactly. Then if they feel he needs seen I will drive up there. I am hoping he will be able to eat and be active without surgery.. they are just such a tiny little bird.
