She seems fine, but I am going to keep and eye one her just to make sure. The toe is on an angle and I'm not sure what to do about it? Will it heal itself or fall off? It is cut just above the nail on the soft part of her foot, and not cul all the way through but the nail part now hangs to the side a bit, and it is only hanging by a thread.

Guest throwback Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Oh Dear!! Just put some savlon cream on it. She'll be right! The little bit will probably fall off if there is on circulation going through it. Link to comment https://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?/topic/20129-severed-toe/#findComment-235574

Just keep her quite as you are that's about all you can do. I have had birds loose all their foot & completely recover.

I had a budgie lose all but one of her toes to another hen during breeding season (everyone was feeling a bit feisty it seems) and not knowing any better i didn't do anything. The toes healed up and she happily bossed all the other budgies around for another couple of years before passing away.
