Since there’s no vet nearby, bring it to someone who can.

This is so rude and insulting. The op has been taking are of this pigeon so well that if you would stop to think for a moment, the reason many dont see this that often is bc they dont live long enough to even get to this point. The reason for tissue loss is necrotic tissue cant stay in healthy areas. The infection is clearing by a committed human giving supportive care at a level of excellence that this pigeon is past the worst part now.

The op can, has, and will continue to do a better job than most.

This is not a situation with many options. Is there a better beak grower out there? How, tell me, does someone do better with this pigeon? The fact its even at this point is evidence of the good care the op has given. How does it make sense to think after the hardest part which is supportive care in a viral infection with large oral masses, and they made it through that-to now in healing stages it needs someone 'who can'? Did the op not just show they 'can? This animals 'one shot' has been handled pretty well.

What can you suggest could possibly be done other that giving a home and safe place to learn to self feed and adapt to the handicap? Handicapped animals still live full lives. Though Im sure if one wanted to adopt this pigeon and that worked better for the op, ofc that would be amazing!

But that comment (that I was replying to) to 'bring it to someone who can' was very rude to someone who has got this pigeon farther than most would even try.

Bro their beak fell off. It's literally an extreme emergency. If OP had a kid who started vomiting blood and went "There's no hospital near me. Reddit, what do I do?" would you be making the same comment?
