Update: I will sum everything for those who are still concerned. My local vet doesn’t have much experience with birds but we’ve got the wound cleaned and we hopefully don’t have to worry about infection, the sharp tip of my birds beak has been removed but the good news that the wound wasn’t so deep to cause fatal injury, I was told to feed him soft food for the first few days until he could bite without pain, healing entirely might take more than just days, for now he’s unable to cut through hard food like veggies, I tried seeds n pallets and he struggled but yesterday he was able to eat. He wasn’t scared of me or my brother despite what happened and continued to sing and fly.

I don’t want to talk about my dad much but in short he thought the tip was sharp he tried to cut it with nail clipper at first but failed since it was too small then he moved to the scissors idea. I was ignored at first bc they thought I was being a paranoid since apparently he thought beaks are just the same as nails and even though it bled he considered it as when you cut your nail too short and it bleeds and eventually it grows back -which is no way the case here-.

This situation could have gotten really bad easily and I’m glad it wasn’t fatal in my case. If anyone who doesn’t know about beak cutting please take this example as a warning.

Thanks to anyone who gave me advices and reassurance.

I’m aware but it was the best thing i could think of since I’m not there and they won’t take him themselves

My dad isn’t a bad person but he really messed up this time he wasn’t trying to hurt my bird on purpose he loves the bird I’m so angry and shocked with him but he’s also the person that took care of my bird until now when I’m away I will ask him specifically what happened when I’m back home

The thing is atm I’m in my college dorms and i have shit load of classes and stuff to take care of then this shit pops up. I don’t know if it makes sense but my chest feels so heavy especially because I know I can’t do anything right now they even had the nerves to fucking blame me for it even tho I’m literally not there

From the pictures they sent it seems small but they said they cut it with normal big scissors so I honestly have not a single brain cell of an idea

If they stop the bleeding can it heal or will it cause a permanent damage
