I try to get it to eat the special lorikeet dry mix, so I dip it's beak in it, but it won't eat it. So then I put it on the orange and it likes the orange. After making this video I mixed the dry mix with water and it hardly came up for air, it absolutely loved it. I also examined it's legs again...pretty sure they are both deformed but he can control one claw, not the other. Since it ate the watered dry mix, it was familiar with it. So my guess is that it's been hand raised. Also it's not going crazy after 12hours with me when I handle it which a wild parrot would be doing. Update: I've just realised that cat carrier is galvanised wire which can also cause heavy metal poisoning...so I'm digging out a proper cage for it. Update: The wildlife rescue said it has likely been hit by a car or it has flown into a building. The lady said it's likely a trauma injury and I should have taken it to the vet straight away. They didn't tell me that on the phone when I rang about it. She said there is a chance it's only concussed and that's why it doesn't have full use of it's legs, and if the vet thinks it's concussed, they will try to save it, otherwise they will euthanise it.
