Oh man another injury in my flock.
Putting the birds to bed and Chessie crash landed on me and I wasn't able to catch her and fell softly to the floor. She was holding out her leg and wing. I seriously thought she was stroking out. It was so scary. So after her leg wasn't recovering, I gently felt her leg up to her body. I felt the bones moving so I knew it was probably broke. Our conclusion is that her nail was caught on a perch and when she took flight she snapped her leg. It couldn't have been the crash into me, I believe she felt the pain and flew right to me but couldn't stick the landing with her leg broke. A trip to the vet and she's all bandaged up! What do you think guys, she still so lovable or what?
