I am enchanted by humming birds and many other kinds of birds! I am allergic to feathers but still enthralled by how agile and all they do. I also learned that some of the smarter birds take care of "disabled" offspring past fledgling time.
I was watching YouTube https://youtu.be/gBGSeafVV9w?si=vSbNkYLk4Midpc_X and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HPUa2FcuavQ show a young Blue Jay missing most of their bottom beak.
The family is still feeding the poor dear, Wildlife bird rescue/ rehabilitation people say they are 3-D printing breaks & releasing the birds once its secured as they are seeing this as a more frequent bird defect.
The Blue Jay while having trouble eating seed at a feeder can still get insects to eat.
