It may not grow back, but should heal. Are his nostrils affected? Did the vet put him on antibiotics? I think 7 days of Baytril would be very important to keep it from getting infected. Don't put anything topical on it, only use oral meds. I have had birds come into my bird rescue with beak injuries and they don't always grow back, but they do heal over time. Do you have a way to take a digital picture of it and send it to my email address? I run a bird rescue in IL and have some experience with bird injuries, and have an excellent avian vet here. I could tell you more if I could see the injury. It would be good if you could locate a bird vet for the future...I know sometimes there aren't any nearby. I have to drive 100 miles to one, but it is well worth the effort for the expertise.
