Sitting here thinking. Rockets feet look awesome besides one worrisome spot. He uses his feet to get to a tall toy but otherwise still walks on his elbows. I think it's from habit, it's all he has known since he was little. I have been massaging his feet and bending them gently off and on. He doesn't climb up his ramps anymore since I put his cage up high, maybe I should put it lower to encourage him to use the top of his cage. It's currently on top of a flight cage. So I think he feels safe being high.
I also was thinking about putting things on the floor that would encourage his feet to maybe bend like bigger perches, pieces of wood, etc but laying the perches on the floor to start off with and then try to move it up gradually. He has also outgrown his crock dishes but I need a certain kind of bowl for him. Not too big or deep so he don't drown. Easy to get to the food without having to perch on it or bend over too much. Guess I could add marbles if I have to. Bought the last ones at Petsmart might have to drive down there to see if they have bigger ones.
Any ideas to get him to use his feet more? Could duct tape his feet straight.
Just Kidding!
Should I lower his cage?
Also was thinking he might benefit from interaction with another bird?
Thanks!
