I need some info. on a situation. I had a person contact me yesterday that has a splayed leg lorikeet, both legs are splayed. The bird is 3 weeks old tomorrow and still in the nestbox. She wants someone to take the bird and feed it and work with the legs, as she doesn't have the time to do it.
First of all, is there a chance the legs will straighted out correctly at this age? I know most people start working with splayed legs at 10 days - 2 weeks old.
I don't really want to take it, I know I'll get attached after looking after it and it would be terrible if something happened to it. Then again if I don't take it, there is no telling what will happen to it.
Does anyone have any advice or comments on this?
Thanks!
