Beak erosion and softening disease in ibis birds is one of the most prominent serious degenerative disorders affecting the corneal tissue and beak, posing a direct and real threat to the bird's life and ability to survive in its natural environment. Specialized veterinary studies on the health of wild water birds indicate that this disease stems from a complex interaction involving environmental factors and continuous stress leading to severe difficulties in feeding and the natural growth of bone and corneal tissues. Symptoms are summarized by deformities and clear erosion in the beak structure, hindering the bird from efficiently catching prey and food, and leading to highly dangerous impacts on survival. Modern laboratory and histological research clarifies that early diagnosis relies primarily on precise laboratory examinations of the corneal tissue, alongside applying supportive therapeutic strategies including providing appropriate nutritional supplements and managing affected tissues to reduce worsening conditions and mortality rates among damaged birds based on books on water bird diseases, applied veterinary research on beak diseases, and global reports from wildlife and animal health protection organizations.
