I was interested to read about a currawong with a beak abnormality that was reported in Gang Gang by Jack Holland. We also have a currawong with a beak abnormality that has been visiting our Chisholm garden since 2019. I believe it is a female, and despite having half of her upper mandible missing she has managed to raise two young every year since 2019. I observed her feeding two young in our garden today.

I wonder if the beak abnormality is genetic, due to disease, or as a result of injury?
