Hi everyone, we just got a rescue cockatiel, and we noticed that one of his toes on the right foot seems to have been broken/dislocated before. One of the back toes have been curled under the front toes, and goes upwards at the front.

We don't have access to the vet right now, but we'll get him there as soon as we can.

In the meantime, has anyone had any experience with such toes and whether there's anything we can do? He walks with a slight limp, which we're guessing is due to the imbalance in his feet. We've tried straightening it, but he doesn't really like us touching his feet too much, and it curls back up as soon as it's left alone.

Thanks!

I can't see the pictures. Can you post them again?

If it's an old injury there's probably nothing you can do about it except to maybe amputate the toe if it's causing major problems. But your vet will know for sure.
