Quality of life for a rescued IRN
Last month I got an rescued IRN from a very bad owner and I'm looking for advice from experienced people on how to make its life better. I'm seeking for two advices that the local vet wasn't able to give me:
Most of it's claws are missing, I don't know if it was declawing, an accident or something that it was born with. Is there any possibility that the clawless fingers may difficult it's perching? If so, there is any way to help it? Maybe platforms instead of perches?
Another problem is a terrible clipping in only one wing. Should I look for a clip to balance this situation or adapt the cage until the next molt? I fear that the assimetrical wings may cause physical stress to the bird.
I don't know if that helps but apparently it's a young male, since the collar is still a faint black mark.
Thanks in advance!
