If she's not acting normal by morning it would definitely be a good idea to at least talk to your vet and see what they say.

It's possible that she just isn't hungry right now, or that the pain is bothering her a lot. Hopefully it will improve before long. Let her rest quietly for a while and see if she starts eating and acting normal later on, and call the vet in the morning if she still isn't eating. Maybe call them anyway to see if they have any advice.

Here are a couple of articles on beak injuries. They're mostly about much more severe injuries than what it sounds like with Tiko, but it will give you an idea of what the vet might want to do.

Just try not to disturb her until she has calmed down. You don't want her to bang her beak again and make the damage worse. If there's an emergency vet nearby that can deal with birds, you could always call them up and see what they recommend. But it's hard to find an emergency vet that's competent with birds, so you'll probably have to wait until morning.

I already rang an Emergency vet and they said its best to just leave her alone and see what happens.

Good work! So all you can do now is wait. If the situation changes for the worse you should call the emergency vet again. Otherwise you just have to wait until morning and call your regular vet.

She's eating something so this is progress!

Can you tell how big the crack is - long or fairly short? It's a good idea to talk to your vet in the morning in any case. They might want to glue it or something to make sure the crack doesn't get bigger when she starts eating hard foods again.

There was bleeding so it sounds like something was cracked or broken. Something bad happened the last time you did something with her so she doesn't feel to good about you right now, but you can use positive reinforcement to help overcome it. You can work on the step ups after she's gone back to acting normal with you, but obviously you need to go slower next time so you don't startle her again.
