The mother bite the baby's beek just below its nostrils, and 1/2 of the tip is not attached anymore, but is just hanging there. The baby (about one month old) is still lively and eating the soft food I am offering, but how long can this go on for? He will need a beek to survive.
Will the beek grow back, like a nail? Should I take the tip right off?
