Mistyparrot Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I saw this article today about a repair to a Macaws beak :http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2105905/Whos-pretty-boy-Parrot-nose-job-catching-beak-door-fixed-Polly-filler.html Can anyone comment on how the beak will grow back or is it only the tips that grow? It also points out the danger that doors can pose to our palls. Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I saw that on the internet and my heart stopped for a second, how awful for that macaw but to comment on your question I don't really know but I am guessing it will regrow though it may take a long time and probably will never look normal again.

TWIX Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I felt very bad looking at the poor Macaw, i hope he is fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I am uncertain if it will regrow, due to the fracturing of the bone. Here is a good article on the avian web regrading beak injuries: http://www.avianweb.com/brokenbeaks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
