baby IRN problem... :(
the babie of my IRN that was 3 weeks younger...well its feet look like clubed feet it cant stand on them or grab onto things i cant remember if the other babies was like this till they got older...
but its feet look REALLY small and they curl up so nothing can hole it on ther finger if they wanted too.
if it is club foot what do the vets do to the bird i dont want them to hurt my baby

Matty There's many birds of all species living with deformities due to birth defects or accidents. But being a responsible pet owner also means you have to make the decision on weather or not it has quality of life and it's not suffering. I know you want to do whats best for the bird but just make sure you can handle the challenge.

Aww poor bub, looks to me like a birth defect. Please do see the vet, there is a chance that with the right exercises this baby may learn to use his/her feet better in time and as long as there is no other issues will likely adapt quite well!! You will be the best possible home for the wee tyke.
Also be sure to ask if this is something you may see consistently from this pairing, best not to allow them to breed if the babies are at risk of having defects.

they have been breed before and this has never happend before ithink it is because the egg hatched 3 weeks after the other 3 eggs it was a late hatch i could not remove the egg cause the mother would of took my finger off....
i will be keeping her/him if there is anything wrong after the vet has been seen but it has been ok nothing else seams to bother it and it use's its beak to balance so i think it is getting use to it already will let u know what the vet says
