While standing on a flat surface my Soju’s toes curl inward. I just got him last week & his little leg broke the day I got him, which is another thing, when I hold him he flaps violently. I’ve had 2 other birds and they’ve never done this?
He’s good now and has a splint and went to the vet, I feel so bad as he fell and his wings are clipped. The place I got him from clipped them all so he splats onto the floor instead of glides. so he flapped right out of my hand and hit a box and broke his leg. He wasn’t able to balance before this happened so I sort of think it was already broken. As the place let’s anyone handle the birds. Even come in just to handle birds for fun.
Anyways! His toes curl inwards as well. The vet said he was likely born this way, but I think it may of been because the place I got him said he’d never been on a perch before. He was in a tubberware thing with his siblings & his nails seem long to me. He can perch just fine with that foot and grasp well, but on flat surfaces he sits like this.
