Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear about Parrot's beak. If you believe his beak is broken or cracked, I would seek veterinary attention for him. A cracked beak is like a broken tooth and as bone and nerve endings are connected to the beak, such injuries are painful. A cracked beak won't grow together, but will grow out over time. Amputated or torn off beaks, as well as fractured beaks, will not grow back, but can be repaired. Depending on the severity, your vet may use special, nontoxic glue and bandage a broken / cracked beak. DO NOT use glue at home, as most glues are toxic to birds. I hope this is helpful!
