Hook beak.

Has anyone seen this beak extension on these birds before? I've not seen it on magpies in all my other images in the past.

I know butcherbirds have it, but can't say I've ever noticed them on Magpies before. Maybe an abnormal growth like some starlings and parrots get?

Possibly Birdy. Hasn't effected the hunting skills.
