Valkyrie - Green Cin wing Vulcan (centre)- Green dom pied. He's got a wonky foot and really has only one good foot for perching so he often doesn't sit up straight... He seems happy otherwise and I was told that his feet used to be fine and he had an accident... (not sure if I believe this) I've cut his claws and he seems to grip a bit better. Do people think that this is going to cause problems for him? Is it likely to be a genetic thing or just one of those things. His toes seem to go a bit twisted but his feet aren't red or otherwise looking scabby/sore. He's able to flex his feet well. I loved his colours anyway... Poseidon - vulcans brother. Cobalt dom pied.

I particularly like Valkyrie Vulcan's wonky feet might be a problem if you try to breed from him. They don't look like they could have been caused by an accident Link to comment

She was given to us and we were also told it was an accident that caused it. After the first clutch we took her out and didn't let her breed again. It's not fair on the babies.... sorry. They really are lovely birds, I love that green colour. Good looking birds. I particularly like Valkyrie Vulcan's wonky feet might be a problem if you try to breed from him.

I'm happy to have Vulcan (his colors are lovely and he seems happy) but I'd hate to breed a clutch of budgies with foot problems so he's definately not for breeding consideration.
