Well, he is limping a little bit. He can grasp with his foot, he can stand on it, scratch with it but when he comes to walk or when he's resting, he doesn't seem to be able to put much weight on it. I've had a look at his foot, there is nothing on there. I thought he might have got a splinter or something from his perch, but that's all clear. The only thing I can think of is that he has hurt himself when he falls off his perch. He's quite a clumsy boy and he's always falling or tripping, so I guess he's bruised his leg or something. I'm going to leave it a couple of days and see if it gets better, if not, we will be off to the vet. There is nothing at all to see though and like I said, he's gripping ok, so there is nothing broken. He's still managing to climb around and jump off his perch.
He's become a bit of a recluse though, since he's had his wings clipped he hasn't wanted to be out of his cage much. Even if the door is open, he won't come out unless I take him out, but if he doesn't want to be lifted he still bites like a thing possessed. When he is in his cage, he is really, really, happy, he sings, whistles, chats away to us both and plays all the time, when he is out, he just stands more or less in the same place and doesn't do much at all. I move his cage around and he doesn't mind me putting my hands in there, just as long as he doesn't have to be picked up. Although head scitches are allowed, when he says.
