Post: deformed cockatiel?

Posted by Minnie on 5/04/07

I recently got a young female cockatiel. She's so very
sweet and I enjoy her very much. The breeder I got her
from thinks that the mother sat on her incorrctly... She
now has twisted legs. The left leg is just slightly
twisted, the right however is twisted badly. The right
being twisted as badly as it is kind of makes her right
wing stand out. My prblem/question is this... is it fair
of me to keep her around? She does ok at walking, if she
flaps her wings she can walk in a straight line, otherwise
it's kind of a circular walk. Her wings are real powerful
though. She is able to get to her food and water dishes
that came with the cage. Please contact me if you have any
thoughts or opinions about this subject

Thank you very much. :)
on a side note, at this time I do not have any pics of her
just yet.
