Ibis head - Sacred ibis feather of Thoth
Thoth is a divinity who was much-loved in north-east Africa several millennia ago. Often in the guise of a humanoid with baboon or ibis features, he is the messenger of the gods. In his secondary but equally important roles, he governs the domains of time, knowledge, music, medicine, astronomy, geometry, drawing and writing.
Shortly after the Rupture, Thoth sent me a gift to “welcome” me to the mortal world: an ibis that he himself had blessed. This bird allowed me to exchange a few missives with him. He also allowed me to test one of its feathers on a human being who agreed to serve Knowledge. Thus, the feathers of an ibis consecrated by Thoth, when stuck in the neck of a mortal, give rise to a partial transformation into an ibis, recalling the god to whom the mortal will henceforth obey.
It is true that such assistants are very valuable for the organisation of the Library itself, but not very effective for its protection.

It may seem "freaky" to you, mortal, but it is logical that the teeth form the beak. It is true that the ivory in the teeth does not have the same chemical composition as the bone in a beak.
Nevertheless, both attach to the same place: the jaws.
Anatomically speaking, this is more appropriate. However, it is possible that another specimen undergoes a variant of metamorphosis and loses its teeth to see the beak appear from the keratinised epithelium.
(OOC: but is there really any logic to a magical transformation that doesn't exist? )

As replied to SlimyOssy, you are free to find such a sacred ibis and ask its permission to pick up a feather.
Another possibility would be the veneration of Thoth, but he has been much quieter since his cult disappeared from this world. Perhaps he is more accessible in another reality.

There is no harm done, rest assured. The study of magic is far from easy and can vary from one world to another.
It is not impossible for another element or spell to produce a similar result, after all. The hybrid ibis could learn to synthesise the quintessence of this hybridisation into a spell that other sorcerers could learn.
