Left wing in question...


Closer look


This is the right wing.. I dont think anything is wrong.. but both wings when held out look fine....


Right side when closed


The left side... It sticks out!! Sometimes it tucks.. sometimes it does this!!! What is going on!???


You can see it here as well ^ right above that arrow it twists out.


Here it is aga^in sticking out more above arrow


This was found on the ground the Quik just fell apart and this is just the feather

This is what the quik did.. just fell apart!

What is wrong with my goosey!!!

What you see is the feather twisting because of the curly gene the sebastopols have. If you look closely you will notice that it is rotating to the left.

TWT is unique to sebastopols. They are the only birds that have this. It is not due to nutritional issues; it happens. A lot of year old or two year old birds can get TWT when they molt.

So is mine ok? Do I need to worry?

The only time you need to worry is if the whole lower portion on the wing flip outs and the bird will look like an airplane coming at you. Then you should wrap the wing up in the correct position.

If the feathers stick out, there is generally nothing you can do about it.

If it really bothers you, you can pull the feather.

I have a Sebastopol gosling that is almost 2 months old and has had droopy wings for nearly 2 weeks now. Is there anything I can do to help him?

 

[RURU]

The wings are drooping because the blood is going into them and it is heavy for them and have to strengthen their muscles. Now are they just drooping down or shooting out like air plane wings? If not just let them keep pulling them up to strengthen them up. If out like and air plane you might have to wrap them in the normal closed wing to help them straighten out....
