Hello my name is David and I am on here to ask for advice on some baby cockatiels I'm raising, these birds are 2 months old I am currently hand feeding them as an accident happened, we house our birds in a big aviary and keep different species in good sized cages when others are hatching eggs. As our cockatiels were raising their chicks , a lone lovebird escaped and attacked the nest out of the 5, 3 survived but not unscathed. the oldest had some bruising on the beak, the youngest had the bottom beak cracked in half, and the middle child had the top bitten. I took them out and fed them carefully with a tiny syringe I have making sure not to harm them. As time when on some pieces of their beaks were falling off. The middle child's top part fell off, while it wasn't too bad of a break it is noticeable, the youngest's beak was growing back oddly but my thought process was to grab a Dremel that I use for the birds nail on its beak. and the oldest seeming fine but having scabbing was the "normal" one, until today while i was helping my dad with some house work, I come back to feed them and a u shaped chunk is gone from the bottom exposing the babies tongue. I do have cockatiels in my room, the oldest is 11 months and the other two are 4 months old but they have never shown aggression to these babies, they've actually shown curiosity as I've introduced them before, they mainly flew away in fright haha. I really need some advice and help I don't want it to get to the point where they cant eat anything. The first photo is the youngest, middle child then oldest. I would really appreciate any advice please and thank you.
