Damage to Robin face

[Stinky Bob]

This female Robin has damage to her left side of face, also it seems that she cannot close her beak, when she collects food she has to tilt her head and has problems accepting food from her mate, any ideas as to what may cause an injury like this.





PS the male who's a right PITA does a sterling job of feeding her

This is terrible poor thing..
could it be an injury from another robin I wonder they are very aggressive towards each other.

Impossible to say what has caused it, I thought it looks like an impact like from a car or flying into a window. Do you think they have a nest or young to look after?

Oh dear, poor thing!

Even though this robin will certainly be disadvantaged in the natural world, it's surprising how the instinct to survive prevails. We have a collared dove with a seriously damaged wing that has been around for the best part of a year now. We thought that the visiting sparrowhawk would pick it off easily, but it's still around.
