Female picked on one of my boys & in so doing he backed away & wedged his foot in two wires that angle down to a vee. 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?

Hi Obviously you can't get him to a vet or you wouldn't be asking... 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.

Thanks for that, I was feeling a little panicked. 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.

How is he doing?

He's all back to normal, there is no indication of injury & he's back to normal activities, eating, attempting to mate with both females (typical male) & chewing things to pieces.
