Over the last few days my budgie has started to bring his rear longer toe to the front so that he has 3 toes at the front and leaves one at the back. He is finding it uncomfortable and keeps chewing his foot until he manages to put it back properly.
Other than this, he seems fine in himself - flying around the house and chatting/eating/drinking.
We cut his nails last night in the hope that this would help (not that his nails were very long) and also removed the sanded perch.
He is about 12 yrs (although we aren't sure), but he is slowing up a bit.
I'm not aware of him injuring it at any time.
Has anyone else come across this problem or have any suggestions?
Many thanks
