Re: Adventures of a sassy farm potato: Legs the physically handicapped Budgie
Hmm. I was coming here to ask if I should switch Legs to Harrison's(this is what I feed Alex, and at 17 years old you would think he was 7 years at the oldest by how he acts), but now that I'm here I wonder, is there a parrot pellet that would have joint support ingredients? That would probably be better for her than straight up high potentcy harrison's. Maybe I should come up with my own feed for her(shrimp broth/ground shrimp shells for the joint support they offer, can't remember the name of the compound in it right now, but this helped my 10 year old dog's stiff hips amazingly, and mux that into harrisons, or bird bread or something?)
Hmm. Any thoughts? There are no bird stores anywhere near here, and we can only have things delivered via usps to our PO box since we do not have a street mailing address. From phone while distracted by a yellow flatbird trying to nibble on the phone and my hands. ![]()

Re: Adventures of a sassy farm potato: Legs the physically handicapped Budgie
I just realized Amy is a year older than I am. O.O Off topic, but pretty cool.
![]() I found a few posts and websites that have some information on different herbs and supplements that have anti inflammitory(I *know* I misspelled that) properties or joint support. The closest to a readymade diet I found was senior nutriberries, but I don't think a senior diet would be the way to go for a bird only a few months old. Going to finish reading the information I found when I get a moment, and see if I can't come up with something that will work for her and help her out. She doesn't act like her hips are in any discomfort, but I sort of feel like if we don't start taking joint health seriously now, it may become a serious issue in the future.

Re: Adventures of a sassy farm potato: Legs the physically handicapped Budgie
Oh my gosh. Looking up other splay leg birds I found one who had been euthanized for no reason other than the splay legs!!!!
![]() ![]() I had to hug and kiss Ms. Legs after reading about that poor bird. Jeeze, I can't even imagine doing that. It would be one thing if the bird was in distress, but to put down a perfectly happy/healthy bird because of something like this? Wow. ![]()
