I'm concerned about my Greys foot (talon)...she is about 20 years old and in overall good health. We noticed about 4 months ago that when she flew to a flat surface, her foot would be "clenched" and it would take several seconds for her to spread her toes out on the surface.. I took her to local avian vet and he did diagnostic (blood test, visual, etc.) and could find no problem. Blood test came back totally normal. We all thought it may be possibly a cage injury---caught foot in toy or cage somehow--- soft tissue injury maybe- Vet prescribed Metacam for pain for a few weeks--which we gave her. This might have helped lessen the clenching a little- but not completely. She can walk fine and seems to be climbing around with no problem and does NOT favor the bad foot- BUT--she still has difficulty opening her foot up when landing on flat surface????? Im perplexed on this one???
