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
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
