I recently rescued this littlbeforeh. her previous owner said she was a lone survivor from a bobcat but I believe that she wanted to get rid of her do to her disformed beak . Has anyone seen this before ?

Her upper and lower beak do not line up causing a condition known as cross beak. Some have a far worse case than your bird. Providing feed in a deep dish or feeding wet feed makes it easier for them to eat. Sometimes if the length of either beak becomes excessive it is necessary to trim them back.

Hello! It's great that you rescued her. As the poster above me pointed out, it looks like a mild case of cross beak. I hatched a chick once with a very severe case and she did not survive past a few weeks. Make sure she has easy access to food and give her crumble feed over pellets as they're easier for her to eat. Good luck! She looks like a real sweetie.
