It is difficult enough for a completely healthy bird to survive let alone one with a disability. Indeed, it is estimated that 70% of the young of small birds die before they are one year old. The bird you're observing has obviously been able to overcome this handicap during the time when it would be most vulnerable, the winter, by taking advantage of the food available at your feeder.
