I did give her a bath tonight before I left and just held her and cried.Now I don't want to ask this but I have to,If the sling dosen't work and she is indeed deformed,am I doing her any justice keeping her on this earth?
God this really sucks I feel so much pain for her.

I have a completely blind bird in my loft right now.
I have one on the way that can't use his/her legs.
What is Humane?
Now my tears are falling...
Try and help Barb...try and help that little one.
Many have fallen silent within these hands, these hands have had to put some down to end there suffering.....
This is the HAUNTING I speak of...
I can't help you with your question...only you can answer that...
But know what ever you decide...I will stand by your decission...know this...
Arty

For both of you.....

Arty you know me well enough by now to know I don't give up and will fight to do all I can for these little ones.
and I will fight for this sweet dove, and try to make her comfortable .But all I can do is try what her outcome will be only the good lord knows.
I have named her Hope,and that what I have is hope for her.

That little one is very young, who knows he/she may do great living his/her life in a sling, I would use fleece as a meterial and make 2 just in case.
Place the legs through the holes, and tape one and half inches apart, This is going to take alittle effort to get things just right so the bird is comfortable and out of his/her droppings, 6-8 weeks will tell if the taping works to correct the splay...PRAY...
This is really heart breaking but also hopeful...wonderful name...HOPE...
Only you know how much time you have, but if the little one fairs well in the sling and the splay can't be fixed, maybe..just maybe you will have another poster child there to help you combat irresponsable breeding....
Again, you both are in my prayers....

Barb, my heart goes out to you as you’re trying to help this baby. I found these 2 sites that show how to make a sponge support and yarn support. Sending healing prayers for Hope.

This site shows how to make a sponge support:
Parrot Parrot Guide to Fixing Splay Legs on Baby Birds Parrots

This site shows how to make a yarn support:
splay.page
