What comes next is a mix of vet care, soft food, and a whole lot of patience. It's a scary situation, but not hopeless.

It usually happens from a clumsy peck at a rock, a tussle over a treat, or just a bad landing. The good news? Beaks grow back, and a small chip isn't a health crisis. We'll walk you through what to watch for and how to help her peck happily again.
