Recently I managed to catch a very unwell cockatoo. She had scissor beak and feather loss.
She was barely able to eat by curling her tongue around food, not so easy in the wild, but she was able to eat a bit from bowls of seed we put out in the garden.
She was also unable to preen herself and was in terrible condition
Cost to trim her beak and lice treatment: $385 which I paid out of my own pocket.
