Dallas and Tsukasa (Cockatiels)
Mango and Munchlax (Peach Faced Lovebirds)
so, i notice tsuka perches and walks on his ankles, nearly all the time. my other birds all stand firm on their feet, with their ankle upright and not touching the ground.
but tsuka perches and walks with his ankles low, and i'm just curious as to why. genetic, deformity, health problem, personal quirk? other?
he actually has callouses on the joints of his ankles from it. it doesnt really affect him, i'm just curious mostly.
history:
came from an ad on kijiji when he was 5 months old
previous home heavy chain smokers
follicle damage in wings and tail due to weak feathers breaking during nightfrights, feathers weak from smoke.
attacked in the nest as a baby, toes on one foot injured with toenails now deformed. has some scar tissue on one eye from attack.
he's also pigeon toed lol
you can see what i mean in the photo
