Blackbird with odd beak

Saw this little guy yesterday- wondering how his beak got like that and if he'll be okay.

  • Hi Beth, the bird has what is called an overgrown mandible, where the beak is not the correct size and is misshapen. I have seen posts and pictures on here where birds have managed to feed and be okay, it is amazing how that can adapt. Hopefully the BB wil do okay. If you type in the white bar, top left, any short wording you will find previous posts and pictures., (overgrown mandible)

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
