Another unusual beak

I previously posted pics of the redwinged blackbird with the deformed beak and now I have a eurasian collared dove with a hooked beak. Maybe it's the water?

Most unusual Mel, never seen any like that this side of the big pond.

Hmmm never seen that. here.

That is strange, having two species in Idaho, I would normally think of very clean environment there, of course they can fly long distance but a Dove? Something bad somewhere that has affected them. A few years back Alaska had quite a few problems just like this. Is there any fracking around the state or close by?

Didn't mean to step on the flowers.

How exactly would fracking affect a bird's beak ? Your assessment is pure speculation without any basis.

Well you take nice shots of weird birds. I would let a biologist at your nearest DNR office have a look at your 2 bird pics with deformed beaks, bet they would find them very interesting.
