  1. I am not familiar with parrots at all, but I suggest that you get a veterinary to take a look. I do hope that you get a good answer fast here though.


  2. for a better answer than all these, i suggest you to go 2 a vet.

  3. Please get the poor little guy to the vet.  Good Luck with the sweet baby

  4. Don't worry about the 3 eggs that didn't hatch, they were just infertile, and it's perfectly normal. As for the baby bird that lost its legs and has an inflamed wing, take it to an avian vet ASAP. Visit http://www.aav.org to find the nearest avian vet. Not any regular vet will do.

  5. The 3 eggs that didn't hatch were most likely infertile, so don't worry about them.

    If its wing is inflamed, take the bird to your vet.  The problem might be due to rubbing against the side of the nest box or brooder.  Make sure to use something soft, like facial tissues if you use a brooder until the bird gets older, then you could use pine shavings or something similar to that.

    The best idea is to take your bird to the vet.

  6. I would call an avian vet.  If this baby gets to sick it may not make it either.  What kind of parrot is this?  You may have to pull the baby from the nest for hand feeding/raising.  That should be done anyway at about 2-3 weeks of age with birds so they will grow up to be social.  If you pull the baby, I would pull both, but try to keep the sick one separate from the remaining healthy one.
