I pushed his foot out and he is in pain. He initially leaned down like he was almost lying on his tummy, he then was shaking a bit & then I saw him stretching the foot down. I've put the other budgies in the cage to leave him alone & he's sitting puffed up by himself & hasn't moved. Is there anything that I can do or do I just leave him alone? Link to comment

Do you know if it's broken or just hurt.?? Either way if no Vet then leave it. Birds are very resilient. If the worst happens she should be able to manage on one leg...B.J. Link to comment

He seems okay this morning, he's flown up on the curtain rail & is undoubtedly pooing all over the curtain. He is sitting on both legs instead of one, which is weird. I'm due for a vet visit so will make sure the doc checks it out. Link to comment
