Sunny a female B&G macaw;
Japie (m) & Appie (f), both are congo african grey;
All are rescues- had to leave their previous homes for 'reasons', are still in contact with them :)
Nah, yours is massive for such a tiny leg.
I had a canary a long, long time ago (when I was only a third of my size today) who probably had bumblefoot, but we never knew that (no internet, middle of nowhere, no CAV, too young for a bird-club blah blah).
He was just as bad (also lost part of some toes etc.).
(In his case if was the middlefoot, not the ankle that was the worst, though that was also affected)
He never really recovered ( he got better, worse, better, worse while being treated for "some kind of infection" and then we had a really really hard winter and he just stopped, he was the only bird in the aviary who had these issues, so at first we suspected inbreeding of some sort -> I was given a lot of secondhand/secondlife birds, some were a mess, others just elderly).
