Sun Conure Finger Problem!

[beingmahdi]

Hi
I have noticed that my 2.5-month old Sun Conure bird has curved fingers. and it cannot properly grip the perches or my finger. Is there a likelihood of those fingers being repaired? I would like to seek advice from experts regarding this matter.

Thanks in advance

He's such a cute baby! Definitely see an avian vet. Maybe they can put little splints on his toes to straighten them out. Can you straighten them out yourself or are they stuck like that?

It’s difficult to tell for sure but it looks like the nails are overgrown? They seem pretty long. I wonder if this is contributing to it.

Yes I can straighten them but it works like spring...

Maybe it's a birth defect. The bird equivalent to human "club foot" where the feet turn to have the soles facing each other.

I looked up club foot in birds and birds can have congenital foot deformities.

is there any treatment that can help him to be recovered? Someone told me this cause of vitamin b deficiency. and giving vitamin b-12 will fix this issue.

You need to take him to an avian vet. They may be able to splint his feet to straighten them out. He's still young so his bones aren't too hard yet. Don't wait or it may be too late. Vitamins aren't going to do anything.
