Northwest Wanderer Posted May 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 28, 2013 Interesting shot K-H Makes you wonder what caused the birds swollen toe. Hope it doesn't adversely effect it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allamande Posted May 29, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 29, 2013 Pesticide ingestion can cause this type of damage. I've seen it in pigeons before but never in a hummingbird. Beautiful bird, beautiful shot! Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted May 30, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 30, 2013 K-H This great, wonderful detail on the wings. I agree with Ece it could well be a deformity caused by pesticide ingestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted May 30, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 30, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great picture KH. For swollen toe, it could be either an infection of the finger or deformation at birth or also inflammation due to pesticides as you say Only the vet can tell us if he can catch the bird.

Karl G Posted May 30, 2013 Share #8 Posted May 30, 2013 Clear enough to see the deformity very well. Nature is a beeyatch. Luckily for this plucky little bird, the effected region is a distal phalange and not the IP joint so perching isn't effected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
