Huey has a toe that sits forward instead of back. I think it bugs me more than him. I've pulled it back a few times and it goes right back. He also lost a leg fighting in the trenches during the great war so now he's a peg leg. 🤣

Wow SRSeedBurners, Huey looks great! I had no idea that they could adapt this well. Thank you for post and especially the photos. Like you, we've tried to push her back toe where it "belongs" but that doesn't last long. Corey continues to improve. She has probably figured out how to adapt to the change in the conformation of her left foot. We have an easier time of getting her to step-up and she doesn't seem to "ball up" her left foot as much when she moves. Thanks again, everybody!

Less stressed is always good! Glad something is working, be meds, healing, or prayer

@terryspear Happy for the update. So glad you're less stressed out. Sending scritches to Corey and glad the meds are helping. I guess we all adapt (humans and parrots) because we just don't have a choice. Wishing you and Corey the best!!!

Hi Everybody and LNCAG, I thought I would provide a bit of an update and it's good news! Corey seems to have done better these last few days. I'm not sure if it's the pain meds OR if it's that she is adapting to the rotated toe [to the front of her left foot]. She is much better when she comes to "step up" on our hand . It's kinda like she can get a better grasp. And, she seems to be vocalizing more normally and being more of her playful self. When we realized that she had a hard time perching [couple of years ago], we modified her sleeping cage and now the perch is only a few inches above a soft layer of newspaper. She seems to be doing pretty in this cage now. As has been pointed out to me, Greys are smart and thus adaptable. I am much less stressed now that I was a week ago. Thank you so much, Terry

I am still working so every day is normal here for my guys...... I am sure they would love me home more so they can get out. 😀
