Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Male

My Green Cheek Conure got a piece of their bell toy stuck in their beak a few days ago. We got it out and they seem fine, but I'm concerned about any side effects. Should I worry?

Boy, you wouldn't believe how often we see this happen! Birds are so curious and they have such strong little beaks! Having that checked by a vet would be best. However, if there is no damage to the beak- holes, cracked pieces etc and no damage to the soft tissues inside the mouth (sometimes these toys will cut into the soft skin on the inside of the beak), then your little friend should be fine!
