Hello, I'm new to this forum so sorry to come straight in with a problem we're unsure what to do?
Willie, our African grey parrot pushed a broom over and although I didn't see it, it must have fallen on his foot as he started limping. We thought he must have just bruised it as it is not swollen or deformed in any way. he foot looks normal.
Unfortunately it is preventing him climbing in or out of his cage as we've noticed that he can't grip. This means he can't hold his food. We rang the vet today but the only vet we trust with Willie (we've had bad experiences with others) has gone on holiday for two weeks.
Does anyone know if this may be serious as I know that human toes heal on their own, we are trying to find another one that specialises in birds as all our local ones don't, but they're miles away and we have limited means of transport.
Many thanks for any advice!
