There are so many places that don't have avian veterinary services available to them. Being the third most popular pet, that doesn't make any sense to me. I know how much the loss of a beloved bird hurts, but try to remember that there may have been more to her injury than just the beak trauma, like excessive loss of blood etc. Feel better, Charlene, and try to remember the happy times. Patty Charlene,

Our beautiful Green Conure, Gizmo, took on our Congo African Grey, Georgie, when Georgie landed on her cage. Gizmo bit Georgies foot, and Georgie retaliated. Tragically Gizmo's lowwer beak was ripped almost off, and was hanging by a thread of skin. We immediately rushed her to the nearest vet (not Avian), 50kms away, as we live in the middle of nowhere on a farm. The nearest Avian Vet is 200kms away! He said we had to euthanase Gizzie as there was nothing he could do. Now I wonder. I'm heartbroken all over again. She was my baby. This post made me sob!
