Emu #2 on webcam, but need help

[drafthorse39]

Ok so this baby had been internally pipped for almost 2 days and I had to go in and see what was up. Her beak is crossed which was preventing her from pipping the shell properly. I heard you could tape the beak so that's what I did. I aligned the beak and used a thin piece away from the nairs and wrapped it. Here she is at the moment http://www.ustream.tv/channel/emu-egg-hatch

If the audio isn't on, it's because my niece is loud haha. If anyone has done this before (taping a cross-beaked bird) please tell me your results. It's still easy to manipulate so I figured I would seize the opportunity now to align it when soft.

No one has taped a cross beak bird before? I took it off cause I'm scared she can't breathe. I'm just paranoid.

Thanks to everyone who came in and pm'd me on the beak situation. She corrected it herself. She is now in his brooder. I'm trying to keep the cam up but my stupid shockwave keeps crashing! Anyway, it's up as of now so... here's the link, again http://www.ustream.tv/channel/emu-egg-hatch

I try to keep it up as much as possible but my shockwave crashes often. It's driving me nuts! I'm gonna clean his pen out now and set it up in a bit.
