ok, here is a better view of walking, and a few closeups of her feet- i did add the vitamins for her, didn't see mites, but will give both of them some sunshine therapy today...

I don't really see any of the signs that would point to mites. Although she's got some odd looking toes. Does it hurt her if you bend one of those toes that not quite straight?

Here is the set on her, i took them outside and let them enjoy the sun before it got hot, some better video too. I'm not sure how to tell if her toes hurt.

What ever is going on involves that left leg or foot. It appears weaker than the right or tender. Over all they look to be in good health. That blue is very dependent on the splash.

And yes, this video was a ton better.

If I were you I would stand back and watch her moving around. Actually sit down at her level. Observe her moving around, it might be enough to figure out just where its coming from.

ok, have some newer videos uploaded, she has been getting daily sun outings, vitamins. I also trimming around her eyes- got to watching her yesterday, and reminded me of someone who couldn't see well, so she seems a bit more confident today- the splash is her protector or guide- and he crowed this morning!

Is it my imagination or was she panting? If much of that is going on V&E would probably be a good idea.

Also, do her legs smoothly at the knees? Or does she say its painful?

These new videos weren't quite enough to get a sense of movement other than its unsteady.

One other thing, do you know if this bird was kept in a cage? One with a wire floor?

is V & E vitamin e? will try to get more video tonite, yes she does pant off and on, could that suggest she is in pain? would aspirin be safe it that is the case? she is eating more, and moving around more- i have been spending time cuddling her, hoping maybe reassurance will help-

Just a little update on my girl, i have been giving her vitamins, a couple nites ago i began giving her a pinch of asprin in case her leg hurts her, ACV in the water, well, here she is today,

i was feeling her 'knees' and trying to compare, got to wondering if she had injured that left leg and it healed wrong, it is larger than the right knee, but doesn't feel soft

she seems to be more alert, and i continue to give them both time outside, if its not to hot- she wtill won't walk for great lengths, maybe a foot or so then sit down
