Hello,
I have two budgies ~1 year old, both been happy and healthy and recently one of them started molting. At times she would loose tail feathers to the point where her tail looks trimmed.
Later, we've noticed that she can't fly much and started falling off of the perch. Additionally she has developed an overgrown beak (we do have multiple fish bones and she does use them from time to time).
Since it's Thanksgiving, all of the area vets are closed till Monday. Plus taking her out in a travel cage to a vet could be a very stressful experience for her.
Has anyone seen anything similar? How worried should we be? What to expect? Should we take her to an emergency clinic which is about 2 hour drive and has 4+ hours wait time.
