I have a baby budgie with severely splayed legs. The budgies is 5 days old. I have put sponges on it's legs to try to correct it, but the budgie is not happy about it and keeps getting stuck on its back. I'm not sure if it is bad for the budgie to be on its back or if it is too young to treat the splayed legs. I am worried that using tape instead of a sponge will hurt the budgie's skin. Any suggestions?
