l wasn't sure if l was able to post this here, so if l'm not, moderators please feel free to delete it or move it to the right section.


once in a while l like to check my local classified for stuff and l happen to come across this add today, http://winnipeg.kijiji.ca/c-pets-bi...S-8-week-old-baby-cockatiel-W0QQAdIdZ43192668
the cockatiel is free and it is a disabled young 8 week old cockatiel with splayed legs, he is needs to be handfed for awhile still, he is located in Winnipeg.
l would love to take him but l'm unable to take him in due to some health issues that l have at the moment
l personally think he is too young still to be given away if he is not weaned yet. so hopefully someone with experience in handfeeding and weaning a bird will take him.

if you do not no anything about hanfeeding you could seriously hurt if not kill the precious thing

I just read it thats sad, they should have taken the poor thing to a vet for treatment splayed legs might have been able to be fixed if it was treated early, not sure how he can live his life on his belly

That's such a sad case. I hope someone who can love him and care for him properly can take him in. I wish more people would realise that splay legs is possible to correct if you catch it young.

Poor thing He should be taken to the avian vet to get looked after. I hope someone gives him a great home.

 

[birdluv]

yes, it is a shame that people don't take them to an avian vet earlier, so the vet can show them how to fix splayed legs when the tiels are very young
l checked the ad today and it has been removed, l hope this tiel has found a loving home.

I hope so too. Hopefully whoever took the little guy will think to add platforms and soft resting areas to the cage.
