Hello, I own a 10 year old Rosella (rubino) and recently he has started limping. We checked his feet for splinters and cut his nails to rule this problem out.

I have looked into it and apparently yellow wagtails aren't common in Devon and most of them should have migrated by now. Does anyone have any information on what this yellow wagtail is doing? Thanks ..read more
