My ob gets around really well, you wouldnt even know hes disabled. Hes uses all of the aviary, the only thing I never see him doing is hanging off the wire, but them I dont see the hen doing that either. He even manages to balance on steel cups, and hops along the steel square tube frame of the aviary, he hardly ever slips.
When I bought him I didnt realise he only had the one foot for a day or so, and once I knew about it I knew I would keep him as I wouldnt sell him on with only one foot.
I didnt expect him to have any babies but as I already had a female for him and thought I might as well let them have the run of the aviary, and just admire them as lovely birds.
But I guess where there is a will, there is a way!
I certainly didnt expect any babies from him and I know it may be more difficult for this pair to raise them, so if I get more babies Im very happy if not thats no problem, hes having a good life.
