Hi team,
I’m sorry to be posting another thread so soon. And especially sorry about the topic
My bossy bully bird seems to have a broken wing. She has been lying down, hiding under plants and this afternoon I noticed her wing hanging.
I’ve tried to wrap it in place with vet wrap, but the bandage seems to getting in the way of her legs and she loses balance.
I’ll try cutting the wrap lengthways, and see if that helps. Should I wrap over her injured wing, and under the other so she retains movement of the good wing?
If I’m not successful, will it heal if leave I it alone? Will it matter if it heals out of place?
In other news, this bad accident might have happened at a good time. I’ve introduced the littlest girls to the flock, which seems to be going well. Not as much bullying as I’d expected from the injured boss.
