Fly


My bird is not able to fly this morning
Till last night she was able to fly…one of her wing is down,,what will be the reason


Answer:

Hi,

It sounds like she must have injured herself during the night. Some birds get scared at night and will thrash around in the cage. Since the wing is hanging, it is very likely broken. You should take her to a bird vet as soon as possible. Birds start to heal quickly, so she needs proper vet care so her wing heals the right way and she will be able to fly again. The Vet can also give her some pain medication and check her out for any other injuries that might not be obvious.

Take care,

Brenda
