Anyone else have a bird with this problem?

Hiya kim.......my irn has been crippled from birth.. he is only 8 weeks old. He is trying hard to work out but I think he is getting there.
He too cannot hold his food but he seems to eat from bowls well enuff .He has however started chewing his feet and making them bleed so I have to watch him. But I wouldnt have him any other way. He is so affectionate and funny.
