A Duck Gets a Prosthetic Leg | Wizard of Paws 

The rubbing isn't an issue, as most birds don't have skin in their feet. Talons are made of keratin, just like human fingernails. The feet consist mainly of bones and tendons, with very little muscle and few blood vessels, so no worries there. The rest, like the hight, can be adjusted easily.

I think the actual foot needn’t be to scale. Reason is, it has no discernable ankle movement. A tweak here and there and perfection. Maybe making the foot a bit smaller and adding a rubberised pad (silicone or latex).

Mind your business, nobody asked you to knit pick. When you make your duck leg, do it your way

I agree and also maybe a more flexable material in the foot so it bends like his natural foot, as it is it is so flat

Yes. Agreed maybe make the leg slightly lower or more flexible. I also noticed it’s not a amputed leg but rather a bent leg. So maybe the Awkwardness, therefore can rethink the attachment too. But overall super fantastic for the first try as it’s really not easy to do and easy for me to comment here.

we have that for frogs now at french vets .........

Wish someone had responded to you.

that would be hard as most of the structure is bone and to mimic that type of material with the same properties is kinda hard.

@@FluePeak Well, we can print ceramics and metal, which can come close enough to the weight of bones if you adapt the shape a bit. Maybe it is even possible to use plastic, also for the feathers... You don't necessarily need to create actual artificial bone the same way we don't need to print a artificial leg prosthesis out of bone (even leg bones have very complex structures). Especially when the animal is in captivity you don't need to make the prosthesis in a way that lasts a lifetime, but you can just make repairs... so it doesn't even have to come close to the resilience of the original body part. I think the bigger challenge is to create a wing in a way that it doesn't always stick out, so that the animal is limited when not flying... But that also depends on how big the missing part of the wing is ;)

@@loki1607 COOL!!

Unfortunately, where I live, this isn’t the case when it comes to people not wanting to adopt a pet. They put them to sleep because of that reason.
