Hi, I have a 10 year old cocktail, she was found being attacked by a cat and we didn't think she would survive, yet she is a bird with 9 lives! She has a broken wing and a broken toe which means she finds it hard to get around. Although over the last ten years she has improved dramatically. Recently I noticed her cage was rusting, we live by the beach and it happens to everything.
So I upgraded her cage to a much bigger one thinking it would be fun and give her more exercise. I took all day trying to make it so she could get around it easily. She climbed up to the top and then fell down to a flat perch half way down, thank goodness. Now she's hanging in the middle of the cage and not really exploring at all. I'm beginning to think it wasn't the right choice. I was hoping for some pics and ideas from other mums with disabled feathered ones.
