Aww, that’s not good, and would indicate to me that her balance isn’t as good as it could be and her wings provide her with no stability at all. That all makes it hard to be a bird.

She is a poor little thing. Seemingly very healthy otherwise though, her droppings are good and she eats well, but won't touch veg. Without ladders in her cage she cannot even get enough lift to jump up to a perch from the floor.

Penny is so lovely. I'm sure she will improve with your care and she will have a happy life with you all. My flighless boy, Dean Stockwell, is an excellent runner and climber so maybe she will develop those skills. Maybe she's never had a chance to fly so has developed her muscles.

Thank you. I hope she does keep it up, dill is the first thing she's nibbled other than seed or millet.
She's such a tiny little thing. Hopefully in a few weeks (she'll have been with us 2 weeks tomorrow!) when she meets the others, you'll see a size comparison!

Good girl, Penny, for eating some dill. Keep it up. Looking forward to seeing her with the others and how they all get along. Sounds like my two are about the size of Penny. Have you weighed her?

It's great that she's tried dill. It's interesting that she is very small. Dean Stockwell is really small too.

I have not weighed her. She is about the size of JoJo who was between 35-40g. The others are usually 45-50g. But I find it hard to have a time to weigh them with Eve around.

Dean Stockwell and Penny may be a match made in heaven But Penny says that her chick bearing days are over! It's great that she's tried dill. It's interesting that she is very small. Dean Stockwell is really small too.

I feel so sorry for the life she's had. Goodness knows how many chicks she's raised.
I don't think she would be very impressed with Dean Stockwell's looks though as he is very bald these days. He's still got a full head of feathers, but he's missing them from most of his front and his back. He doesn't seem to mind though.
