[QUOTE="Keren, post: 501922, member: 3195"] I've got a bird living with me at the moment. It's a young galah, got hit by a car just outside my house. I grabbed him and had a look at his wing, the bone was completely smashed and awful. So we've trimmed back the feathers on the wing, and put a green ring above the break, put him in a cage. He seems bright enough. Have him on tetracycline to try to avoid infection. He's a pretty calm bird, not trying to bite or screeching too much. So I guess if he lives I'll have a pet galah. Biggest problem is I'm not sure if he's eating. I put out some parrot mix for him, but I dont think he could crack the seeds, so I've been soaking them for him. Also force-fed him a bit of hand-rearing mix last night, just so I knew he'd had something. Any thoughts/tips? [/QUOTE]
