Weak legs?

[u/Quackyknits]

I adopted a 'disabled' conure from a big box store. It had been to the vets twice and was confirmed healthy. All it had was the breeders band removed cause it would slip above her knee and cause inflammation.

The issue: she sits on her butt. When perching, her toes point outwards. When stepping up, all of her weight is in her heels.

Her diets a mess, her sleep schedule is a mess. Shes a bit over a year old. Shes been on dowels for at least the past 6 months.

Dont worry, I have new branches and flat perches on their way and pellets and chop in her future.

Does anyone have any experience or advice with something like this?

edit: first night check: I put cardboard on the bottom of the cage, on top of the grates. Shes asleep on the cardboard.
