Does anyone know how a bird can get injured like this? I’m assuming there aren’t a lot of predators in the cage, did it just get stuck somewhere and pull it off?

There's slightly more info in Dutch on the Artis website[0]. It doesn't mention specifically how the bird got injured, but it does mention that the zoo still had the two broken-off pieces. They used these pieces (together with a CT scan) to create the new prostheses.
The pictures don't really do it justice, it is a massive bird and very impressive up close. If you're ever near Artis do go and have a look (though with their prices I wouldn't blame you if you didn't...).
