The first here means both beak get the prostheses. There were cases already where toucan, stork and crane got new beak, but they were one side only. A parrot was treated but the prosthetics were molded I think.

A parrot beak is ridiculously powerful, it is more like a biological side-cutter than what I would normally associate with a bird beak. I've seen them crack nuts that I would have needed a steel tool for.
