Failure to Launch

UPDATE:

I took Patito to the vet this morning. The vet tape has taken care of his angel wing and his wing positioning looks great.

As for the crooked feathers I was wondering about, the vet said that those crooked feathers were infact the reason why Patito hasn't been able to fly. As it turns out, 4 center flight feathers had somehow gotten bent shafts. The vet plucked out those 4 feathers so that Patito would go ahead and grow new, straight feathers now, rather than waiting for molting time. He said that Patito should have his new, straight feathers in within a couple of weeks.

I don't know how they got bent, but hopefully his new feathers will be more productive.
