Well I noticed that there was blood on the ceiling of the aviary last night, but couldn't see that any of the budgies had an injury of any type!!! So this morning I watch the budgies flying out into the outside aviary.
Pixie who cannot fly as I think she damaged her wing/shoulder area last year. She has coped well since and seems to get around quite well! Well while I was watching Pixie, she tried to fly and of course plopped to the floor! She lay on her back trying very hard to right herself, so I went into the aviary to pick her up, but she had sorted herself by the time I had got the door lock undone. I picked her up anyway, she is a real hard biter for any reason. But she tried to bite and it didn't hurt, thats when I realised that she has lost the end of her top beak, hence why there was blood inside the aviary!!! It's not bleeding now.......she seems to be ok, but don't know if she can still eat!!
any ideas or helpful comments are very much welcome!!

Just cage her up , offer some wet millet spray and a couple of days of guardian angel and keep an eye on her Gaile, it was lucky she stopped bleeding.

Poor little Pixie. Hopefully her beak will heal quickly and she will be back to herself in no time. Keep us posted.

Poor thing. She doesn't look happy with you, Gaile. "No photos, please!" says Pixie.

Not a happy budgie! Poor Pixie.  She looks like she's thinking "yeah, take photos now! While I am so not looking my best!"  |

Ouch. How has she done that? Did she fly into something you think?
Can the tip of a beak grow back?

I don't know how she as done this, but she cannot fly so she gets around by climbing on the aviary wire! The perches are arranged so that she can get around without climbing so much! But Pixie being Pixie like to do things differently!!! I also noticed that there is a very small cut/mark on her cere!!!! I gave her some metacam which is a painkiller!!! |

I am wondering if she was holding onto the bars with her beak climbing around and a budgie fell on her from above?
