Hello!
I have two baby cockatiels with the same issue. They're about 2 weeks old. I've noticed that the oldest was stepping on their wing when they moved, so I picked it up to check and noticed that their right leg is sort of "inverted", bent upwards instead of downwards.
Their sibling also has the same issue, although in a lesser way. It looks like some sort of malformation? I've seen about splay legs, but it doesn't seem to be the case. They both can move their legs and can grip with their feet as well.
Their parents are both about 3 years old, not related and have had babies before, but never with any health issues. It's their first litter/brood in a few months since we removed the nest box for them to rest.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
Thank you all in advance!
