beak problem

[mihoci7]

Hello, i have nearly 5 months old Congo Loki, and he seems to have somehow broke his beak a bit. He didnt even fly into glass or wall. My take on this he somehow did this when he was alone in his cage.
It didnt bleed, it was just kinda redish when i saw it few hours ago. It seems he isn't feeling any pain, he's just playing around as usual
Will this get better bythe time or should we take him to vet?

Here's a pic of his beak: http://i.imgur.com/QBJnucG.jpg

First of all, welcome to the forum! Glad you joined us. Loki is a very handsome fellow.

It looks deep enough to be painful for him. There are a lot of nerve endings in the beak. In time it will grow out like a nail, but it will take a while. Personally, I would let a vet have a look, I would be concerned about infection, birds approach everything beak first. In some cases a vet will patch the beak.
