Well as you can see he has a broken leg. He came from a breeder who did not want to pay for him to be treated and wanted to euthanize him. So I took him, he got his legged fixed yesterday and now he is home with me to recover. He needs to keep his splint on for three weeks. He hates the thing and is already picking at it. There is a chance it could not heal properly and we will have to amputate, but hopefully the splint will work. The break is at the very top of his leg.


I can't believe they were going to euthanize him! I could not let that happen. He's such a sweet bird. He's a little nippy but that is understandable as his leg probably hurts. He loves to have his head scratched and his back petted. I know he will be a great birdy once his leg heals and he trusts people. It's very scary for a bird to break it's leg, leave it's home, undergo surgery and than move again. I love him already.


He has to be in a tiny cage until he recovers. But I did put some thing in there for him. He loves his cuddle nest though. It's the purple thing. I put some rings in there as well. I have to give him water in a dish every 30 minutes to avoid getting his bandage wet. So please send good vibes for Alex to recover soon and not need an amputation.


P.S. I am not sure if it is a boy or girl.....so Alex is what I named him as it could always be Alexis if it needs to be.
