Could the condition the beak is in be caused by the calcium deficiency they stated?

i call that look "rough", lol. it looks like a breeder bird that is feeling nesty, idk if that is from his calcium condition or not. that beak, ouch!! i wouldnt want that beak to puncture my fingers!! on the bright side, at least this person is being honest about the calcium problem...

They are just getting into the avian world from what I know of them.
I surley dont know Id trust them to adopt from, unless they have proof that all the correct medical testing has been done.

EW. Those feathers look horrible! I bet that is the calcium deficiency coming into play.. that and no natural light and a crappy diet.
