How to fix splayed legs in baby pigeons

Here I show how to fix splayed leg growth in baby pigeons. The main cause for baby pigeons developing splayed legs is a lack of nesting material in their nest bowl.

I did this with a bird last year with clip on bands and tied them with a string and it worked like a charm. I left them on for 2 weeks. The bird legs look like all the rest you can't even tell he had a problem. Nice job!

Excellent! Great minds think alike 🙂

Splayed legs is one of the things I worry sooo much about. Had it happen once a few years ago and was able to correct it. Excellent, informative video on both the prevention and correction of splayed legs. I used a large rubber band with a shirt section of drinking straw in the middle looped over each foot. Your method worked well. Good job correcting it with your little guy.

Oh that’s a good idea with the drinking straw! Nice! This is my first one for me so I’m happy we got it sorted ☺️

Wow, I haven't been able to remedy splayed legs, but I'll do it your way if ever it happens again. Tying to bands is brilliant

Ekstra filmik! Jeśli chodzi o rozstawione nóżki u młodego,to najlepiej nie wyciągać pustego jajka.Gołąbek powinien się wychowywać z jajkiem obok jak najdłużej. Pozdrawiam serdecznie 😊

I had this problem with one and I nursed her back with hand feeding and therapy. Now I have four that are inflicted with the same thing. I used my screened porch as their area. Two were doing good and then all of the sudden their posture and health declined. I think it was the pesticide that was sprayed along the floor and border a couple of months ago was the thing that set them back. I am beside myself and totally sad that I may loose them. Any suggestions? Can exposure to these chems be reversed? If I need to put them down, what is the most humane was to do this. I do not want to do the neck way. Any suggestions.

[@RFRP]

I'm so sorry to hear this! How are they doing? What pesticide did you use and was it in the loft? Most pesticides (in the US) are fairly harmless to to animals so that is a little surprising.

[@FREDDYROCKIT]

@@RFRP I had to put two down and possibly one more in the near future. It was a routine outside pest control company who only sprayed the outside of the house and screen porch. No, they did not spray the loft. I'm just sick to my stomach over this. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Keep up the great work....Freddy

[@RFRP]

@@FREDDYROCKIT Oh that’s terrible! So sorry!! 😢

[@farmer998]

just goes to show how toxic the stuff is people don't realize how many chemicals we are subjected to daily ,canary in the coal mine.if it kills the bird it will kill you just a matter of time.house hold chemicals are just as bad just takes longer.
