What's the issue with his feet?

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but his feet must have been broken at some point. The one front nail grows upside down, and one grows in a curly-q. He doesn't really have any normal toes so he can't grip very well. He also had bumblefoot when I got him, so the bottoms of his feet are pretty scarred.

Ohhh poor baby. Try vet tape on the perches. That adds texture and may help him with getting a better grip. I hate hearing that. Sounds like he went through something rough.

He's been better, I have flat perches and wider perches and he thankfully hasn't had a falling incident in a while! Besides sometimes when he's sleeping, he leans all the way forward and tumbles.
