Hi all I have a fledgling zebra finch I've been looking after for about 10-12 days now he has just fledged about 3 days ago and I've noticed one of his feet don't wrap around and when ever he's on the ground he is always on his heels he can perch but it obviously is a struggle for him...

It happens occassionally, causes could be anything from the parents not feeding a good mix of foods to a genetic defect which may or may not be related to the relatedness of the parents. Just wait and see is all you can do. While offering a large range of foods.
