My mother did drive over our rare Madagascan turtle with her car, resulting in a big hole in the poor critter carapace. Blood and bubbles...

The vet promptly fixed it with an epoxy compound (no even vet grade) and some fiber glass...

Carapace, nails are made of keratine and can be fixed with epoxy

The beak, I suppose is the same, but much more troublesome..huge pressures.
and the epoxy emit some nasty gases while drying..still I would ask the vet to fix it again.. and keep the bird in a padded cage for a day.

Ain't the beak will grow back? Ask the vet.

Best wishes to you and your bird.
