This is my main man, Pepper
I noticed what looked to be the equivalent of road rash on his top beak a couple days ago to the point where the tip is shorter than the bottom beak. I also noticed he wasn't able to eat meal worms out of my hand. He is acting totally fine other than that but I did go through all the forums yesterday to gather as much info as I could and still wanted to check in to see what others thought. I did feed him some wet feed in a deep dish yesterday and he ate the heck out of it so I do think he was hungry. I plan to do the same while needed. We have a nipple watering system but I did see him getting the water that settles in the cups without pushing the nipple in. Should I put a water dish out as well? He is not acting off at all so I don't think he is dehydrated but I don't know how quickly that can come on. Do I need to do the tea bag thing on an injury like this or no? Lastly, does this look to be an injury from the hardwire cloth and/or squabbling with his peers or could it be caused by something else like a deficiency of some sort that I should be wary of?
First pic is his beak normally, the rest are what it currently looks like.
