Rescued ringneck

[Queen]

In my opinion his toes generally look fine and are a good length. The toe I circled here is the exception. It seems to have a little cuticle damage. It may not be a big worry at the moment as he has a lot of healing to do.

If he isn't accepting veggies you can try rolling them in the seed a little bit maybe he will find them more interesting that way. But also older IRN do have a harder time accepting new foods. Usually they are extremely receptive when young but get firm in their ideas when they are older. So don't give up. You may need to offer the same veggie options for days, weeks or even months before the little guy is brave enough to try it.


I am never comfortable picking someone else's birb's name. I am sure you will think of something wonderful.

Yes I definitely will try that
We are thinking maybe oli

I make chop for all my birds so I will offer it to him everyday but my main focus is him getting on track to recover and gain abit of weigh on him and getting better

Oli is a great name Such a jolly ring to it. Jolly Oli! You can get through this

It is great to hear that you already make chop for your birds. I didn't realise you had a whole flock. Make sure you are extra careful with QT. You have no idea what Oli (if you go call him that) has. I am sure you are already doing this but just incase.

I am sure day by day he will improve. I selfishly want photos everyday! I feel like he is going to be a success story under your care.

Ah, so I imagine you are letting them grow back out?

The breeder clipped my plumhead's wings the day I brought him home and I was so sad about that. Birdies need their wings! Luckily he has had his full set of feathers back for awhile now.

I was very upset they didnt even ask me
As I'm harness training my lorikeet and because they need to learn alot it has become some goodness but any young bird should not have its wings clipped

His name is pika (as he always make pika sounds )
My lorikeets are poppy and dolly & pipsqueak
Two little zebra finches name mr finch and mrs finch (named by a 4y )

 

[fashionfobie]

I also have two little zebras

If you are curious you can find more of their story here.

Adopted Finch

I adopted a zebra finch today that was at the RSPCA. He has an injured wing, though he can fly. He was brought in by a local veterinarian, who found him on their door step. There wasn't a lot of history on him other than that. Not sure of his age or previous care. He is very comfortable around...

UPDATE HES EATING SOME SEEDS

Nutriberries were the answer for me. As they have nutrients and Mojo loved them pretty quick.

Can you drive or travel further?
Often we have to travel miles to find a decent vet!
