Hello: Bird with weak legs...

I am pretty sure I know what this is: this is caused by a deficiency of a certain Vitamin known as:

Thiamine Vitamin B1...

Thiamine Vitamin B1 is an essential B-Vitamin; and what happens is: if the Bird does not have enough Vitamin B1; the nerves of the legs do not work correctly; and the bird simply cannot stand up;

another name for this conditon is "Beri Beri; and affects many animals and birds; B-Vitamin cures this

Protocol: a. Thiamin Vitamin B1 liquid drops in water
b. Vitamin B-Complex liquid drops in water(has B1...)
c. Rice Bran Pellets hi Vit. B1 d. Thiamine tablets crushed to a fine powder and then sprinked in water

Seeds: Sunflower Seeds (hulled ) very high Vit. B1

what is interesting about Thiamin B1 is: if a Bird has a deficiency of Thiamine B1; the only cure is Thiamin
Choline; found in soymeal or soypellets; has Choline;

Choline is also beneficial for this type of leg conditon; I would suggest about 1 mg. Thiamine day;
ask pharmacist or Vet...A.
