Since there are some bird people here, I have a question. Are those "cracks" on the bill places where they once broke the bill and it grew back, or is it something else?

I think what you're seeing is flaking beak.
Kinda like skin can flake off, but a beak is more like a toenail.
My sister had some African Greys and that's what it looked like to me.
(it would change)
What iaJim said…

"a beak can get whitish, flaky looking lines on it that are normal "growth" lines. Much like human fingernails, a bird's beak grows continuously throughout its life, and the new growth can cause the beak to appear streaky or striped."
