He did so well...he weighs 70 g and is a little underweight so we will work on that. She didn't see any obvious breaks in his wings but they do look funny...she said that it could have been an old injury up near the shoulder...she mentioned a bone, similar to our collar bone area...which may be causing the drooping of the wings. The only way to tell for sure is with an xray and there is no need to put him through that, I felt, and so did she.

She said her wobbly legs and feet appears like it might be neurological as well as arthritic...she mentioned lower perches, padded perches, etc...

They drew blood and did a fecal so I should know more later this week.

He is such a sweet cockatiel despite any abuse he has seen.

When we got home , he stepped right up to my finger and let me put him in his cage.
