But, as he says - they adapt perfectly well with one limb missing. We have a cock pheasant like that and he still manages to give the hens a good run for their money at this time of the year.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-69893820072251898602016-03-22T14:58:33.384+00:002016-03-22T14:58:33.384+00:00Actually I think I see his three little black toen...Actually I think I see his three little black toenails in the top photo. I think the leg is still there and he's just got it raised.

I'm not sure whether it is a disease or there were some rather painful accidents. Poor Donald! But he seems to be thriving, and I suppose he won't have a problem finding food with one leg. One wing would be a different story.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-83836447024694858262016-03-22T07:45:25.202+00:002016-03-22T07:45:25.202+00:00It's a seagull watcher's paradise, YP.It's a seagull watcher's paradise, YP.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-81403135489421077612016-03-22T01:30:56.528+00:002016-03-22T01:30:56.528+00:00Often they will stand on one leg but this definite...Often they will stand on one leg but this definitely looks like the one leg is gone.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.com
