I have been looking for a bird for our family. I have been looking at the Alexandrine Parakeet and it seems that one may fit well into our family. I came across one on Craigslist. Ugh....
The guy has had the bird a month and decided he wasn't a parrot person, but the bird looks well taken care of and has a big cage. (Macaw sized)
But he says that the bird doesn't have use of one of its wings due to a dog attack when with the previous owner. He says the bird cannot fly and falls hard.
*** You can see in the pics that it is defiantely his right wing that he has no use of, it seems to just hang there ***
My questions are:
Is this something that ever may be fixed?
Would it likely be causing him pain?
What precautions would have to be taken in his general every day care?
I have to ask these NOW, because I know my heart will win WHEN I go see him and I will get him anyways. So I might as well know what I will be getting myself into.......
