hi ppl will visit members lounge and update profile as soon as i get an hr to spare, the birds name is coco! however its unsexed so i think this fits a boy or a girl. and is convienient! lol....will get some pics uploaded shortly! regards dan (bear with me as im new)

reply for talen...he favours his good foot and his left doesnt get used properly, when he walks its more on the knuckle (knee area where feathers start on leg)but whilst up n down in cage he can grip with his bad leg just not aswell as his right leg....ill see wot vet reccomends....cheers

thanks for all your comments ppl...i will defo take him to vets and keep ya all posted! im a new member but will use this site regularly...he doesnt seem in any pain however if it is an injury then he doesnt deserve to be hobling around! he will not come onto my hand and i think its because of his standing ability due to this problem! he lets me kiss cuddle him etc... but if its a defect from birth and cannot be rectified, his personality over compensates for this and it wont matter to me anyway...

hi i have just purchased my 1st eva bird an african grey, he has a disability, his left leg seems to be disabled although he does struggle with this much he his reluctant to walk on it,and when he does he just seems to walk on the joint not so much the foot he is 18mths old and the last owner said he was born like this...when he walks he favours his right leg and only uses his left leg for climbing and holding nuts etc.. shud i get him to a vets or if he was born with it(no proof but have no reason to doubt the mans word) shud i just leave it as hes adapted to it?? any recomendations would be much appreciated...
