thanks for the advice, it was really helpful, i used this method and just scrathed his chest so he knew i was still a friendly figure and guess what .... this morning i woke up too find him fully using his foot =] i was so releived and he is not hopping anymore walks on both feet which is excellent THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS GIVEN ME ADViCE AND SUPPORT IT REALLY HELPS AND THIS WAS MY FIRST POST ON THIS SITE AND I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH ALL THE HELP, FEEDBACK AND ATTENTIVENESS great first impression I WILL BE SURE TO BE A CONTINUED USER OF THIS FANTASTIC SITE THANKS EVERYONE! grant.

thank you so much!! to hear that is very comforting =] now i am certain it will heal, i just have to be patient should i still handle him, like let him perch on my finger and shoulder as he is fresh from the pet shop and i need him to get use to me? or should i wait for his foot to fully heal it has been 5 days now? thanks muchly for your help Robyn =] grant

thanks for your quick reply but he is does not always use it when he is climbing only when it is necessaary, and today i seen him hoping on the bottom of the cage with one foot the other foot curled and suspended he can move his toes but refuses to stand on it or walk on it? is it broken or just injured slightly will it heal by itself? thanks for your help grant =]

Hi all, my budgie has hurt its foot, and im unsure of what to do he was flying around the room and must of landed badly, as when i picked him up he was reluctant to use one of his feet i have been watching him closely hoping for improvement, but it has now been 3 days and no improvement? what should i do, is there anyway i can help him, or do i just have to wait for the natural healing process to take place and wait for his recovery? he is able to move from perch to perch, but once on the perch solely uses one foot to balance whilst the other foot is suspended just above the perch with no pressure on it. he can move it and use it i have seen him climb with it on the side of the cage, but will then not put pressure on it when standing? is it broken or just sore? will he get better i am so worried i only got him last week =[ please help me someone, thanyou grant

Hi my name is grant, and i am new to the budgie lingo i have read up on some of the colourings, markings, mutations, etc but i can not identify/figure out what colour and mutation my budgie is? and the sex too? he/she has a purplish whitish cere, is this because it is a baby? i would really appreciate some help, thankyou =] here are some pictures... is this a wing marking mutation? this is him/her front on this picture is the same as the one above, but i have saturated the colours on my computer, to make them more obvious the previous picture is true to real life in terms of its colour its just that when i look at its chest plumage their are tinges of blue and green and yellow i think, so i enhanced the colour to make it stand out does anyone know what type of budgie i have thanks for your time =] grant
