Budgie Sprained Leg

In this article we are going to talk about a budgie sprained leg

It’s possible for a budgie to sprain their leg

Or even break (of course we don’t want happening and pray it doesn’t)

But it can be common

How?

It’s because budgies have tiny hollow bones

And this can be prone to sprains and even breakage

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not weak as their legs are adapted and refined to meet their primary life function

They use their legs as much as we use our legs

Of course, their wings are their powerhouse but their legs are also as important

If your budgie has sprained their leg, you should definitely take your budgie to the vet

This is the best thing to do

Let’s get into more detail in this article
