Hello, i just want to ask about a baby lovebird that i have, he's 3 weeks old and his legs are closed therefore he can't stand on them, he keep sfalling from the nest to the buttom of the cage and then ihave to put it back in the nest, the other baby who has almost the same age seems to have normal legs which he can stand on, i'm afraid that this baby won't be abel to stand on his legs when he grows up. is there anything i can do?
thanks in advance

Answer
Hi, Jimmy,

The expert you sent your original question to could not answer for some reason.  I picked up your post from the question pool this morning.

You need to take your baby lovie to a certified avian veterinarian for an examination in order to determine what the problem is with this baby's leg.
