I have a scarlet macaw, who was imported to Denmark back in '94. He was imported for breeding purposes, so I can only assume, he was a good specimen as the initial importer kept him as a breeder bird for 11 years.
As he was never tame before, the way the breeders caught him to move him, was with a net. This has caused his left wing to break at some stage.
Today when you look at him, he looks kind of lopsided. His right wing is drooping, his left wing is sort of pointing in the wrong direction and his back is slightly curved and bent to the left.
I have found a vet, who specialises in treating small animals (guinea pigs etc) using chiropractic methods. I have made an apointment with her and am looking forward to see if that could help Tino in any way.
I am curious to hear if any of you have any experiences with such practices. If not, your thoughts are also very welcome. I am willing to do almost anything to help him get a better life, but must admit it also scares me a little.
