Are you absolutely 100% that it isn't broken or fractured because it makes me feel sick to think that it might be and he may be in agony and all the while hiding it as his instincts tell him to. Could you not just take him to a vet to be absolutely 100% that he isn't sufferring? Most vets charge only a small amount to see birds. My main vet charges £3 and the other charges £5 consultation fee. Even if it is a small fracture gangrene could set in and kill him slowly and all the while he is trying to appear healthy and strong Back to top Deb_Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 3661 Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:38 pm    Post subject: I believe that the roo is no more. Debs is extremely good with her animals and does everything she can for them.
