TLC tender loving care

Phil I let the fantails out one day

it p*ssed all day and were litterly soaked to the skin

and I was worried about losing any of jacks birds

he would have been heart broken

so I got the hairdryer out

and make the mistake of posting in on a thread

and the likes of jacks adopted uncle gangster

AND OTHER

ripped the back clean out of me

hairdying birds but do you know what

I never lost one

moral of the story

you can only try your best

and don't worry about what the begrudges say lol

THAT COULD BE THE BIG WINNER

there isn't a lot you can do with the wing. Is it broken?

It looks as if its just taken a knock and may correct itself although i find a bird that damages a wing is never the same again when it comes to flying.

Did the one with the dropped wing have a bump or did it just appear?

Have had two cases: in the first I was told that a trailing wing is an indication of a problem 'high up the wing' - it turned out to be an infected shoulder joint; the second case was a broken bone (radius).

 

Sling in either case would be no use at all; the broken bone was strapped to its neighbour (ulna) using something called a sticky bandage, the wing was basically trussed, but it didn't prevent her trying to fly so she was confined to a box for 6 weeks to allow the bone to heal, after which I removed bandage and she was able to fly right away after doing that.

 

Not sure a sling would be of any use in your case either. In humans its used to support a limb that has been attended to; your bird's problem hasn't been attended to - you don't know what is wrong.
