don't do the way kier mention
thats wrong
do something like this
http://www.parrotparrot.com/love ... /fixing-splay-legs/
or google splay leg
this condition can only be fix when it is young
so don't just sit here and do nothing, this is the only time to correct the bird
get calcivet and feed to the bird as well, along with UV leg to promote calcium growth

lb1lb1

that is good, you can make it even closer for 0.5-1cm
leave it on for 2 weeks and don't remove it
then remove it after 2 weeks and see how it is
then put it on again for 1 week,
if everything is good then it should be fixed

and yes, the plastic cup is useless, it doesn't do anything useful because there is no pressure to fix the leg

you handfeeding the bird now?

and this bird doesn't need a special cage
special cage is for adult birds that have splay leg, and it is like normal cage, except it is wider and not as tall, so there aren't as much climbing for the bird

starts fixing at 2 weeks old to 3 weeks old is the best
so it should be ok
do you put it with other birds
if you do and other birds reject it
you can get a small bowl and put tissue in it
and put the bird inside for it to rest
change tissue every meal to keep it clean
but do get calcivet and mix with its food and increase its calcium intake
and uv light if you can

lb1lb1

yes, thats calcivet
its liquid calcium
you can add it to its baby food every other day or every 3 days
i used to get it in the bird shop at the fish street, i don't know if other shop has it

lb1lb1

the mum can give just the amount it recommend
the bb can give more frequently
i forgot how many times it recommend
but you can give it 1 or 2 times more per week in this treatment time

lb1lb1

its been past 2 weeks already?
have u take to take the bandage off and see how it walks?
put it back on afterward for 1 more week then it should be ok

lb1lb1

it is much better now
u can tie the legs again but make it closer
but it seem quite ok
the problem in the video was it was walking on plastic when the leg is spread out
it is partly because it can't grab on the plastic
if u let it walk on cotton or something like that then it should be more normal (like the first half of the video when it was walking on tissue)
木糠 and 抹手紙 are same
it may bite the 木糠 to play with it but usually the bb will know not to eat 木糠

lb1lb1

can't see clearly on video
it seem like it doesn't have toe nail?
can you take a pic instead of video of its feet?

lb1lb1

have u stop tying the legs?
you should have stopped tying the legs

    sounded like its related to genetic
have the parents have other bb? do they have same problem before?

今次是LB媽媽的第一胎，生了五隻疍，孵出四隻，給牠踩死了三隻，這一隻是唯一生還的。

do you remember the dead bb have nails or not?

and next time u should rest the bird for a period of time before letting them mate and have eggs
look at its butt, u should be able to see if it egg bind (you can google egg bind for more info)
and the mum will spend a lot of time on the ground and doesn't look so good

you can just wait and see if the egg hatch, see if it has nails

if it doesn't then i would stop the pair from laying eggs again

remember to rest the parents too
