My sister and I have been feeding a crow who had a nasty piece of hard plastic tubing caught on his/her beak. That was bad enough, but the beak must have rotted under the yellow tube because one day the lower beak broke in half. We were so worried. It was autumn and winter was fast coming on. I made the crow broth and nutgruel with mealworms and bits of suet and every day the food was gone. (His buddy would wait until he had finished tilting his head to the side and dipping out his worms, then would come and eat his share.) Two years after the tube appeared, they still come back every day and he is eating more normally.
