hi,i adopted a mallard from a friend who is a vet,it would have just been left to die so i took it not really having a clue,but anyway this mallard duck which turns out to be female (i think) has developed a defored wing. it doesn't seem to bother her and she can still flap her wings fine but it does tend to get caught on bushes when she gets over excited seeing her breakfast treats of cucumber and tomato.this orphan was found in the road and although at just a few days,the wings looked like little buds,maybe soething happened then,i'm not sure. i'm happy to take her to see a vet but worried that the shock may upset her as she's only used to me picking her up,etc.... (p.s. i couldn't resist getting her another duckling friend for company) so i now have 2 ducks at 5 & 8 weeks and they are both adorable and get on great with my guinea pigs
- any suggestions on the wing would be great,if i can work out how to do it then i can load a photo, kind regards
