My cockatiel took a fall from the top of the fridge and isn’t adjusting his wing in place properly. This is relatively common for him given he is somewhat clumsy so I wasn’t too worried at first, but it’s been a couple of hours and by now he would have notmally sorted it out already. I’m having second thoughts and thinking that maybe I should go to the vet, but all the ones that treat birds are closed. Am I overthinking things?

    Vet as soon as practically possible. But no point taking to one which doesn’t know birds. Birds at great at hiding injuries… So if they look unhappy it’s probably not great.

      I have some vets nearby who treat birds only and that’s where i usually take him, but they are closed right now. This is the type of dumb stuff he does about once a month, but usually he doesnt stay like this for so long and right now I’m starting to freak out a bit I guess. He still moves without making a fuss and has preened it a bit, but still…
