That legs looking way better thanks to you. He's a very lucky bird. And he's also a very nice looking recessive pied. Some show breeder most likely lost him from their aviary.

Excellent... he is looking so much better. Great work!

Great work... Nice looking bird also.. Indeed from show stock...

There was poo on the floor of the cage!! Woo-hoo! :-D

 

My friend who works in a produce store is picking me up some antibiotic today, I'll put him on a course for good measure.

 

I'll just check this is okay to keep him in, it was my little dove's before she died. Does it need to be bigger?

 

 

If he is a show bird or from a breeding program hopefully someone will be missing him! He is due back at the vet today but it may have to be tomorrow as the 13 year old mastiff had a pericardial effusion yesterday and had to be put down, and I still have to babysit the kitten that is intent on pulling out the stitches from her desexing. Can't turn my back for a minute with that one... He seems happy enough and is getting mobility back in that foot! Yay! :-)

That cage seems to me to be the perfect size for him. Glad to hear he is getting better,

The cage is great. Could you set up the perches so there is one good one each side and the budgie can fly back and forth across the cage for exercise. Budgies prefer their cages with perches that way. Might help in the recovery
