Looking at it it might be a little before the joint or on it. I realize he may not be able to fly, but it shouldn't be a huge problem

Scratch that last question, the Guinea sling worked and he is now dangling from the roof of a cage In a towel sling with a birdie straight jacket on underneath

Since we already have this thread started... Any suggestions for a broken wing with a peacock? I had vet wrap around it to hold it in place like I always do when chickens or ducks or guineas or even turkeys get broken legs or wings but apparently peacocks are a lot stronger and more psycho then...

I wouldn't call it solved but at least I know I've tried every possible thing I could. I know it sounds like it but I swear I don't abuse my peacocks haha..... Just extrodinarily bad luck and maybe God telling me to pick a new hobby

I went to a lady who we've traded birds and other livestock and critters with in the past to pick up another male peacock. ( my old ones still alive but still) and I was explaining my other males situation to her and she said the same thing you guys did, that it sounded like a sinus infection...

Also I'm not sure where I'd send it in
