It's great that she is eating, etc, which hopefully means the crack isn't part of the beak that has a lot of nerve endings. However, you still should have it evaluated and possibly repaired or sanded by a vet to prevent further damage, in case there is fracturing in the beak that isn't visible to the eye!

We have a crashy-bird in our house too, and I recently had to put in semi-opaque window cling so he doesn't hurt himself. If this continues to be an issue for you, I would recommend you consider doing the same.

My advice is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to a vet visit. The worst thing that could happen is you get good news and a vet bill! Hope your birdies beakie is ok! Good sign that she’s still eating etc.
