A couple of weeks back an ad came on another forum wanting a home for a disabled baby grey. Me being me went OMG
Turns out his legs were damaged in the nest box, and he was walking with one leg out to the side, using the 'elbow' to walk on. As a result this was causing sores etc, so they needed a special home for him. I was lucky enough to be chosen, and he came home last Sunday. He is a total doll, had a panic on the second day he was here, as he knocked the scab off and was hanging on by a thread
So now his leg is bandaged up, and probably will have to be pretty much permanantly now. If he gets any sort of muck into this area it will get infected and basically the outlook would not be good
His cage is set up with no grill, towel underneath the paper, food and water on the floor and just a couple of padded flat perches. He can fly, he can fly really well, but because he struggles to land, Im having to aim him to tops of cages which have padded fleeces on top or the sofa etc.. But he's getting better, only been a week and he's learning really quickly. So anyway, here you go - Here's Scooby - Will update with pics of cage etc as we develop together. The picture with three birds, Jack Jack is on the left, Scooby in the middle, and Bex my other disabled grey on the right! She is doing realyl well too now - Still cant fly, but she manages to get about regardless.
