The California Wildlife Center rescued this cutie who had malformed feet.
The knuckling kept her from being able to perch or walk like other birds. The solution?
Tiny snowshoes! These helped reset the alignment of the feet and this little girl was eventually released back into the wild to bird another day.

Captain Jack, my sparrow, has one that's malformed. Maybe I should try it!

You could say she's now a walkingbird.

Did they have to break her little feets?
MsSparkles
Not typically. You can typically just brace the feet and eventually the muscles and joints will reset to where they're supposed to be.

Must have been fun to get your intern to hold the bird while you taped its feet to the boards

"Now Karen, as we covered, birds love it when you manhandle them for foot problems. Also, get the disinfectant ready, no reason though."

Worthless book. Sure, it taught me not to judge a bird by its feet, but nothing about how to heal birds.

Fuck these things in the ass so hard. They are busy mimicking car alarms trying to get laid while I'm trying to sleep at 2am

Them not letting you get your dick wet doesn't mean you should fuck them instead.

One used to sing along with my grandpa's music class. The teacher thought someone was off-key till they noticed the bird.

We are literally crying right now at your unfortunate anger.
Dawnstempest
Not just trying to get laid, they'll mimick it simply because they like the call.

Contrariwise..The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds states that there is no scientific evidence ...
