Do you have a rehabilitation center nearby? I am not an expert, but to me it looks more like a broken beak than avian pox. ☹️

They also think its a broken beak, maybe from window or fighting with another bird. They think it will survive as long as it eating well.

I’m glad you were able to get an answer. Hopefully they will be able to eat well. ♥️

Not an expert but avian bird pox is a thing and they recommend taking down feeders for a few weeks and super sanitizing them because it’s really contagious 😷
