disabled

My rosella had bumblefoot surgery on his feet years ago and since then we've been battling blisters on his feet, I go up and down to the vet often and they can find no cause so I've been told "it's just something that's gonna happen because of the surgery". He's on long term anti inflammatorys...

Hello All, I am new here, and signed up to connect with individuals who may have experienced the same thing as I have with my precious little birdy. Or, those in general living with a disabled bird. I have a Red Bellied Parrot, her name is Beelzebub (Beelzies or short). Believe me, the name...

Hello everyone, Thanks for your help in advance. I just welcomed a male african ringneck into my home. I currently have a female parrotlet. They seem curious about each other and I hope they will get along in the future. Does anyone have experience with having these two birds tolerating each...

Hello, I've been looking at this forum for a while, but now I feel compelled to post. A few weeks ago, I brought home my first bird, a cockatiel. I really lucked out, he's got the best temperament. Unfortunately, 2 weeks ago, he got into an accident. Both legs were broken. A few days ago, his...

I'm really going to need some help figuring out the setup for the Fearless Four. Though I have some experience creating setups for birds with disabilities (aka Kamara), I've never had a blind bird before, and I'm at a bit of a loss. What little I've found states that the enclosure should always...

Hello all! I've been lurking around reading a lot of really helpful posts here, but I have to admit I have a few more questions than I've found answers for. I apologize in advance if this is too long. So the backstory: December of last year (2018) I re-homed a 9 year old cockatiel. I'm at least...

Hi everybody! I posted about my green cheek Remmy who sustained a traumatic brain injury about a week ago, so heres a bit of an update and a few more questions! Remmy is doing somewhat better. He's on painkillers which are helping, and his personality seems to be coming back slowly but surely...

Hi y'all. The last week as been very stressful. My Conure, Remmy, flew into a window, and without getting into too much detail (I don't have the energy right now, I'm sorry.), he might have permanent neurological damage that effects his balance and use of one of his feet. Right now I have him...

A buddy of mine, who knows how much I've been struggling after the loss of my beloved Sam, has just brought to my attention that a local herp enthusiast is trying to find a home for a leopard gecko with severe Enigma Syndrome. Since I have experience with special needs reptiles, have always...

Previous Thread: Tips on safe proofing a cage for a vet visit. | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum So this was my birds situation from my last thread. Since then the situation has changed. Last Sunday it was time to give him his morning medicine. My mom grabbed him with a small hand towel and my...

Hi all, Long story short, my baby Apollo (approximately 5 months old) fell from his cage and broke his back (I work where he was going to be sold). I spent days and days with him for three months in the back of our store rehabilitating him to where he can use his beak to help him walk. Ended...

I went to a fair yesterday and found the Bourke that I've been seeking for some time, but in addition to him, I fell for a pair of female parrotlets that a woman was almost begging me to take for next to nothing: one is disabled and very tightly bonded to the female she lives with, and people...

Hi bird-folk! This is pretty urgent, so I'll jump right in: I keep a rescue-turned-companion house pigeon who has PMV. I found him when he was around five weeks or so old, and he will be one year old soon. The problem is that he has not regained the ability to self-feed (if he ever even...
