What animal is a Zaglossus bruijnii?
The Western Long-beaked Echidna (Zaglossus bruijni) is one of the four extant echidnas and one of three species of Zaglossus that occur in New Guinea. Fossils of this species also occur in Australia. As Tachyglossus bruijni, this is the type species of Zaglossus. The Western Long-beaked Echidna is present in New Guinea, in regions of elevation above 1300 m and up to 4000 m; it is absent from the southern lowlands and north coast. Its preferred habitats are alpine meadow and humid montane forests. Unlike the Short-beaked Echidna, which eats ants and termites, the Long-beaked species eats earthworms. The Long-beaked Echidna is also larger that the Short-beaked species, reaching up to 16.5 kg (36 lb); the snout is longer and turns downward; and the spines are almost indistinguishable from the long fur. It is distinguished from the other Zaglossus species by the number of claws on the fore and hind feet: three (rarely four). The species is listed as endangered by the IUCN; numbers have decreased due to human activities reducing habitat and hunting. The Long-beaked Echidna is a delicacy, and although hunting the species has been banned by the Indonesian and Papua New Guinean governments, traditional hunting is permitted. In February 2006, an expedition led by Conservation International reported finding a population of the mammals as part of what they described as a "Lost world" of wildlife in the Foja Mountains of Papua Province, Indonesia.[3] --peace-- The Western Long-beaked Echidna (Zaglossus bruijni) is one of the four extant echidnas and one of three species of Zaglossusthat occur in New Guinea.

Should you debeak your chick?
This is not usually done to adult birds. Chicks are often de-beaked right after hatch at some major hatcheries but this is to prevent injury to other birds. It is generally accepted now that de-beaking after the first week causes unnecessary pain and suffering to the birds when other remedial action is available to stop feather pecking and cannibalism. Proper housing and light control stops all but 1% of injurious behavior in a well maintained flock. Problem birds are best culled rather than subject the entire flock to unneeded de-beaking.
