So sad that it was left so long. Poor baby :( I hope surgery goes well.

Stay strong Bean!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your momma and your big sister too. So glad she spotted you and her mom took you home ❤

UPDATE:
My little Bean saw my avian vet today, she said there is no way to set the leg as the fracture is too high up the leg and more importantly it has been broken long enough that it started “healing” incorrectly. She said we can do one of 2 things: leave it a nonunion and give him pain meds the rest of his life or amputate the leg.
I had a feeling that would be the case. Bean is scheduled for surgery on Thursday, so please pray and send good juju his way!

Poor Bean! Hope all goes well and he has a nice recovery! :sadhug2:Bean, you're in my prayers!

@rocky'smom About the manager you were writing about. If you want you can either write a letter or call the corporate office and note your complaints about him. That happened at one store and the manager was immediately removed from the store.

Here's hoping Bean will heal and enjoy a life of wonderful little budgie.

Bean will do fine. Birds get along with one leg pretty well. I wish I could remember the name of that little bird that had both legs amputated and was happy as could be - it's a senior moment with me though.

Here's wishing you and Bean the very best.

I am not too worried about post surgery, but the actual surgery itself. He is such a little guy and anesthesia is so harsh, I’m praying he handles it well and makes it through the surgery!
