Zebbie not flying properly

Post by zebbiefan » Sun Mar 14, 2010 9:43 am

Got some pictures of my zebbie personally I don't think his wing looks good at all, Can you guys give me your opinion and have you got any advice on what to do or what I can do to help him?

Drooping a wing like that certainly indicates something is wrong though it's very hard to say what. I'm glad to see (I think I see) a perch close to the floor and the floor covered with newspaper. Would not be comfortable to get his wing between grate bars now. I would add a heatlamp at one end of the perch so he can go to it for added warmth. It may help his wing. Does he fly at all? Can he open his wing? I think he hurt it some how but to what extend - I don't know.
