Black capped conure broken beak

[Lady Hampton]

So I haven’t gotten a food close up of Wall-E’s beak but here’s play time!

 

[Lady Hampton]

She is so hard to get good pictures of but here’s some of her beak today!

It appears to be growing in!! How is Wall-E doing, overall?

Does look like there is some growth. That's great.

I'm so glad he's doing well. I have a fondness for those special needs babies.

She’s doing great! She was back to normal within a week of it happening. She’s able to eat harder things now but I still give her the softer options to make sure she eats.

She’s been loving pea pods lately.

This is great news. I'm so glad she's doing so well! I made an extra side dish for my birds with finely chopped butternut squash, carrot, and sweet potato mixed together, cooked until soft ( microwaved in a covered bowl) and flavored with ceylon cinnamon. My birds love it including my Black capped "Bob". It's the first thing he eats in his dinner dish. Bob says HI! to Wall-E !!!

Wow that is a Vitamin A delight. Did you do the chopping?

Agreed! I want to try this out with my birbs

I did! I have a small food processor called an "Oscar". I've had it for years. I cut the vegetables into small cubes and fill the processor just an inch below the lid and turn it on until there are small bits. All the ingredients go into a bigger bowl, mixed and I microwave for 8-10 minutes. I add a teaspoon or less of the ceylon cinnamon after I mash the veggies together... they're pretty soft after cooking. I forgot to mention I also add a small whole Pink Lady apple chopped in the processor too and mix it in with the veggies. .. because those are sweet and a tiny tart. They probably wouldn't eat it if it didn't have the apple or the cinnamon. All the vegetables are more than a cup each so it makes a good bit and I spoon it into zip lock bags in half inch layers for freezing.

This is the one I have and for many years too! You don't really need anything big, especially for your small flock. It comes in handy for quite a few things. I've got my ingredients for the other extra treat I put a dob of in their evening cup. Fresh kale, the small sweet peppers ( orange, red, yellow), organic baby carrots, one pink lady apple, serrano peppers, jalapeno peppers, fresh ginger, cayenne pepper. I finely chop each ingredient separate and mix together in a bowl. It is a wet mix and this time I'll be adding some cooked quinoa to it as well. I've tasted it and it's verrrrry spicy!

Top 2 are from earlier this week. Bottom 2 are from about 2 weeks after it happened. Her little beak is doing fantastic.

 

[Vmax]

It looks to be filling in well!

Who knows if it will ever fully grow back, but it looks really good and it sounds like she's adjusting well.

I'm so happy she's coping with everything in style
