Hi, new to group and hope I picked the right thread.
I have rescued a young cockatoo from some dogs. No obvious injuries, very quiet as if he has had human contact previously but unable to find any owners. I have birds so have been feeding watering and testing ability to fly every day with no luck.
Question - his bottom beak is splayed out on either side so it does not align with top beak. Has anyone seen this? In all the birds I have rehabilitated and owned in have never seen this shape before.
Any treatment you are aware of?
He can drink well but is very slow at eating and eating minimally. Stress or due to beak?!
