If she's not acting normal by morning it would definitely be a good idea to at least talk to your vet and see what they say. It's possible that she just isn't hungry right now, or that the pain is bothering her a lot. Hopefully it will improve before long. Let her rest quietly for a while and see if she starts eating and acting normal later on, and call the vet in the morning if she still isn't eating. Maybe call them anyway to see if they have any advice. Here are a couple of articles on beak injuries. They're mostly about much more severe injuries than what it sounds like with Tiko, but it will give you an idea of what the vet might want to do. http://beautyofbirds.com/brokenbeaks.htmlhttp://www.birdchannel.com/bird-behavio ... ights.aspx

If there's an emergency vet nearby that can deal with birds, you could always call them up and see what they recommend. But it's hard to find an emergency vet that's competent with birds, so you'll probably have to wait until morning. I already rang an Emergency vet and they said its best to just leave her alone and see what happens.

Can you tell how big the crack is - long or fairly short? It's a good idea to talk to your vet in the morning in any case. They might want to glue it or something to make sure the crack doesn't get bigger when she starts eating hard foods again. I dont think there is a crack shes acting normal now but puts on her aggressive body when I go near her does she hate me now.
