  • One footed birds in Hawaii!

    When I first moved to Hawaii.... I thought there was something wrong with a lot of the birds here.

    A lot seemed to be missing a leg or a foot...

    I was later told that this is because there is so many people here in Hawaii with Long hair...and that the birds get their feet tangled in Loose hairs on the ground....then they end up getting so wound around a leg that it creates a tourniquet affect thus making the foot eventually drop off.

    Anyone else heard of this... Or have any other explanation for all these one footed birds?

    Avian pox is what does that. Bird biologists are well aware of it.
