My answer:
he most reliable method for removing a birds beak is to use a pickaxe or a mattock.
First place the birds beak in a vise, then swing the pickaxe, aiming for the point where the head meets the base of the beak.
It is important that the bird is held by the beak rather than the body, as the oil from its feathers may damage the vise.

and this classic
I'm assuming you're planning on outfitting the bird with some sort of mechanical replacement beak? That is a common solution for many pet birds whose beaks are overgrown or just plain annoying. I don't recommend it for wild birds though, as it gives them an unfair advantage. It bumps them up a couple notches in the food chain, and can create vindictive Terminator birds.
