My GCC Milo flew into a wall while I was trying to fix his happy hut for cold weather and he got spooked and flew into the wall and cracked his beak there was no bleeding and I checked inside of his mouth to see how deep it was and everything was fine. He seems to be putting pressure on it like normal and it doesn’t seem to bother him. I attached a photo of his beak should I be worried IMG_5452.jpeg

:hello1:
He hit pretty hard to do that..
It's hard to tell from one picture ,the bottom part of the dent looks a little worrying...
But I think it looks like will be ok. I'd like some other pictures later to tell better.

But it's possible he will get a little brain swelling. I would keep him quiet no flying around for a couple of days. And watch him

But my feeling is will be ok

I took these pictures as well. I put him to bed after I made sure that he was okay so he can have some quiet time

I know you are worried! We all would be! He is a cutie! He will be ok tonight. Even if it ends up being something that needs a vet he will be ok tonight.
Evaluate and more pic in the morning. See what others think .
I still can't tell well enough, I'm in my phone. But I think will be ok.

It's really hard to see his beak through the cage bars. It does look like he got a good dent on the one side. I would keep him caged so he doesn't hurt it anymore until you can get a proper look at it.
