I have seen this on a few wild birds, but it is very uncommon. Normally the bill is worn down through normal feeding, but in this case the bill is growing and not being worn, or growing abnormally fast. Could be a deformity too.

I remember seeing a post about a RWB on this forum with a bill condition similar to this.
