Yesterday Gus chipped his lower beak - mandible? You know how the lower beak is flat across the front, and the macaws grind that part up against a flat place inside the wicked upper beak? Well, his has a big u-shaped chip out of the end, so there are two sharpish points with the U in the middle. I didn't know if it hurts, or if it's a danger, but I could see the two points being fragile and breaking, maybe causing more damage. And after reading of Salty's exploits in the land of Beakville, I called the vet who says bring him in. So we're off in a few minutes. I'll see if I can get some photos and post them along with the vet results.
I'm so grateful to this forum...if I weren't coming here regularly I wouldn't have known enough to think to take him in.
