Handicapped Bird Videos Or What Our Birds Teach Us About Disabilities
Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Catherine Tobsing
We get help desk tickets and phone calls on a regular basis seeking advice for a handicapped bird.
The most common disability is splayed foot (especially in budgies).
Splayed foot is when one or both of the bird’s feet turn sideways as a chick.
This usually happens to young birds when nesting material is “slippery” so the feet don’t have enough traction to point in the right direction while still in the nest.
