Awe, poor Beeper should learn not to bother the bigger birdies. I've never had a bird lose a limb, so this was really new for me. Beeper gets around fine, though? No issues with it getting caught on things?
Hah, it's been a roller coaster month. If I wasn't already on anxiety meds, I'd be on the ceiling here.
I still re-read that and cracked up at your first few posts. It's funny, but serious too.It's in my dog's stomach.
Well, you know what they say about laughter...

At least it's pretty much over now. He just needs to put on some weight and regrow his throat feathers and he'll be fine.
but she got around fine, even after Nerd broke her foot before we realized they didn't play well together anymore. Her foot balled up and I tried straightening out her toes but they just curled up again. She hopped around, climbed all over, and flew like nothing ever happened. The foot did hurt her for a while, but once it healed she was back to being a crazy flying flea.
I think she was just so far gone from all that time in that condition with her previous owners 
I feel your pain. Ciri wasn't with me long enough either. It's amazing that you took her in, though! Not a lot of people would bother with a budgie that's that far gone.I have so enjoyed catching up on this thread! Sounds like you have a little superbird. I rescued a budgie with severe scaly face and leg a few years ago. She ended up losing both her feet once I had started treating them. She also adapted super well. Unfortunately she was only with me for a few weeks before leaving for the Rainbow Bridge
I hope your superbird continues to recover well and enjoy his awesome new life
She must have been so happy to be with you.
He's ready to go! I swear he doesn't even seem to miss it.
He's probably more relieved the dread collar is gone.
It really seems like that to me, too. I find it really amazing how quickly he adapted to having one foot. He's landing, taking off, getting in and out of his cage, playing with his toys, preening and doing almost everything like normal. The only issue he seems to have is nailing those tight turns after being in a cone for so long.He's ready to go! I swear he doesn't even seem to miss it.
OMG!
