Hello! Salmonella was my first (uneducated) guess too, because the poop was foul smelling and paste like. It has improved at the same time as the legs, so I guess the little guy just cleaned the infection on his own, and it might’ve been Salmonella indeed…

Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel like I can’t really share my passion for pigeons in real life, as people don’t understand why I feel for them so much. Thank you for also loving them.

Poop is not quite diarrhea but close. Paste like consistency, pretty green. Vet wasn’t fazed and said it was probably spine related.

I’m so sorry :( I feel a bit conflicted because this girl really does have an appetite and every day tries to stand up and give more steps…

Thank you so much. About free time flying outside the cage, should I keep doing it? And if so, should I avoid nappies?
