SPLIT RINGING OUR ZEBRA FINCHES.... AND LOTS OF BUDGIES!...AVIARY UPDATE JULY 2024

[@TheNoviceAngler]

Hi Ben, I’ve never experienced budgies with splayed legs but I have corrected it many times with chickens that I’ve hatched. Usually if you tape or band the legs close together they’ll slowly go back to normal. With chickens I do this as soon as they hatch before everything forms and sets properly so I’m not sure if it’ll work for your birds as they’re obviously a few weeks old. Love the videos, something to cheer us up after watching England lose in the euros 😢

@@TheNoviceAngler from what everyone has said, it is probably already too late to do anything to correct the legs but I may as well try… thanks for the watching (and let’s not mention football)..😩

Hi Ben I breed budgies and I split ring the adults. I just think it would make it a bit easier as you won't have to ring new birds up every time you have more chicks.
