    Help please! Possible broken leg.

    I will get a photo a bit later today. Thank you for the advice. Maybe you will be able to make something of her injuries. My fiance seems to think her wing might be injured too so I'm trying to keep an eye on that as well.

    Help please! Possible broken leg.

    This is helpful! I am hoping it's going to heal up on it's on and that be that. I had her put away like I said and I went out to check on her and she was out of the cage!
