Thanks for well wishes for Sir B Yes samwiseg as Fran said he's 8 in May, not old i know but i do think the bigger show type birds age quicker than the smaller one's, Old Jo, as you know, was 15 and he didn't really start showing signs of stiffness until he was around 12. Baileys feet remind me of Jo's when he started getting arthritis. I hate them too jellybean , i think ive only had 2 over the years with rings, Inca had one, she was a show type and it never caused a problem, however when i saw Isla in a pet shop her metal ring had been put on and pushed in too much, it was cutting into her little leg, i told the women, who hadn't noticed, and she took her out the back and removed it, of course i ended bringing her home because i felt so sorry for the little mite. Anyway it seems to be affecting one toe mainly, he has been holding it out straight but today ive noticed him curling it round the perch better, he's been on ACV for three weeks and im sure that's helping. This is how it was and i have'nt seen this so much today, fingers crossed. Yes those girls of mine are so adorable, they make buzzing sound's when they are smooching and grooming, like a couple of little Bumble Bee's, they really get lost in the moment

I think he always had one toe that was a bit straighter. Lol, it’s like mine now.
As long as it’s not bothering him, and I’m sure it’s easier with no ring. Does the ACV build up, or maintain better health?
Buzzy little girls, they’re too cute

Buzzy little girls, they’re too cute He's been quite lame on the whole foot Fran, it's quite puffy on top, he was nursing it up most of the time three weeks ago so its progress that he is using it more and the toe has relaxed a bit. The ACV is thought to have anti inflammatory property's, im sure that's helping it. Maybe he is coming out in sympathy with you and your toe

Yes those leg rings can be a pain (literally) Do you remember what happened with Murph? His ring was "growing" into his flesh because he was such a large bird his footand leg where growing and the ring was getting tighter. I did remove it but it did in fact deform his foot a little but he was ok and managed to still get around without too much trouble. They use plastic rings now instead of metal ones and Nubby has one but I'm kinda reluctant to take it off when its seems very loose still and our relationship is really blossoming! Am sure he would hate me forever if I removed it now but having said that I would of course remove it should it cause halth issues

Had to share a very rare moment in time, Bailey and Eve cuddling up for their afternoon nap , this is unheard of, Bailey usually runs a mile if the girls try to get close

He probably didn’t mean to, cos that gives a girl the wrong impression
