Is this budgerigar open? How to correct it?
Recently, I saw a bird with a disabled leg in the bird market. At that time, the seller was going to throw it away and let it die. In order to save its life, it has been basically rescued and can basically stand. Summarize the experience of treating birds with leg disabilities over the years and post it on the Internet for your reference.
Treatment points: leg disability should be rescued as soon as possible, and it is difficult to treat the leg when it grows hard.
1, active exercise: do some corrective exercise for the bird every day, that is, gently hold the bird's body, thumb and other fingers with your right hand like holding table tennis, and gently fold the bird's legs inward. It should be close to normal after orthopedic surgery. Because the bird's bone is growing, it is better to correct it, but it will not work if it is too big. Remember to fold gently, don't rush to collect, collect a little a day. This method takes a long time, so it can't be too hasty or too slow, otherwise the bird's legs can't grow hard.
2, box shaping: you can put the bird in a box slightly smaller than the distance between his legs for orthopedic training. Because the box is smaller than the distance between his legs, he will push the sides of the box hard, so you can increase or decrease the muscle capacity of your legs. You can change a smaller box every day, step by step.
3. Rope tying method: tie the rope to the bird's calf, similar to handcuffs (be careful not to tie the rope too tightly and ensure blood circulation, and not too loose, too loose is easy to cross the leg joints, pull the thigh or be broken by the bird), and the distance of the rope should be close to the normal leg shape.
Note: the above methods should be combined with the use effect. After orthopedic treatment, it can basically return to normal or close to normal. Generally, the method of rope binding is more convenient, but it is necessary to let go of the rope to make him adapt.
Open birds cannot mate.
