Baby Budgie requiring special care - REHOMED!

[albion]

Hi all, 
I have an eight week old baby Budgie that I would like to offer free to a good home to somebody who is experienced enough to attempt to rehabilitate it. It came out of the nest of its own accord and doesn't look like it has splayed legs but it just prefers to sit on the floor. It will climb on to a perch but still prefers the floor, I have been handling it every evening and helping it to grip chop sticks and my finger. A vet saw it today who agreed that it was worth pursuing the idea of trying a bit of Budgie Physio and that it seems otherwise healthy, happy and not suffering. It does not have French moult. I would keep it myself but I work long hours and full time so I don't have the time.
It is a green/lemon colour.
I am in Wandsworth London, please message me if you feel you have the time and dedication to take it on.

Thank you

I would gladly take it. I am home all day and have a cage set up for my disabled budgie. The only problem would be getting it here, I live on the coast of Kent.

What a shame that you are not a bit nearer. Very kind offer though.

Just having a look at some prices for a courier if you wouldn't object to it being transported that way?

I do hope you are able to work something out, poor little mite.

Best of luck with your quest. Let us know how it progresses please. Maybe I can help a little, nudge, nudge, wink.
I don't mean to drive down there, though I would love to.

Thanks you all, I really hope we can find a home for it, I still wish I could pinpoint exactly what it is, I have been giving it calcium supplements, I am wondering if it was a small stroke or something?

Oh gosh I hope something can be organised for this little mite, if I could help with transportation I would but I am too far up north. Good luck

I've had a reply from a courier and they want £90 door to door. I wouldn't mind so much but they say they are busy and only have a few dates over the next few months. Not good when the little guy needs his physio.

[OP]

That sounds like they don't want the job and couldn't give two hoots about the little guy. I wouldn't trust that courier to do the job.
As a thought, could we form a link up between you both. As in members part way along the route, like a relay. That's assuming we have drivers. What distance are we talking. I haven't looked it up yet.

I'm waiting on some more quotes, let's see what they quote. I have money put by for this kind of thing so that's not a problem, it's just the time frame of months that's the problem.

Can you post a photo of the budgie?

[starlingqueen]

I have enquired about the earliest possible date for transport from the £90 quote. Awaiting reply.

[starlingqueen]

Had another quote £122.
