Budgie who can't fly

[Phil999]

I have a budgie in an outdoor aviary, a few months ago now, it lost it's flight feathers and haven't shown any sign of growing back. Is there anything I can do to help them grow back? Thank you for your help

I don't have a suggestion for you. However, I have had a budgie with this problem and was told that it could be a condition called French Moult, which I am sure you can find on Google. He was a caged budgie and it didn't prove much of a problem. However, he didn't live for very long.

sounds like french moult, unfortunately it can't be cured as it is due to irrepairable damage to the feather shaft, we had a budgie with it at the bird zoo i worked at, she was healthy apart from being unable to fly, we made her a little ladder so she could get to the food and water and she was fine, and we were careful not to cause her unneccessary stress as she wasnt hand tame
