Broken wing


My lovebird broken wing before 1 month know she is healed and she can’t fly
Now I want to know is she capable of breeding or not


Answer:

Hi,

Was the bird treated by a veterinarian? If so, you need to consult with the Vet as to why she can’t fly. She may need some physical therapy. If you didn’t take her to a vet, then the wing probably healed wrong and she will never fly. Breeding birds need to have full use of their wings or it is unlikely they can effectively mate.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
