Hi my cockatiel is not gripping with his left foot and one nail has broken so that he is not whistling . But he is eating and drinking water normally. There is no avian vet near or far from my house. Is there any home remedies that i can apply to cure him? Please help me because i love my cockatiel so much i'm worried.

Feed an appropriate pelleted diet supplemented with a fortified seed mix. Use perches of different diameters to exercise the feet. A flat perch platform can also be used to make perching easier. A broken nail can be clipped off at the break. Minor bleeding can be controlled with gentle pressure and some plain cornstarch.
