." I think shes frustrated she cant fly, she keeps getting on the floor and putting her hat up like shes upset she wasn't able to get to where she wanted. Poor girl"
That is a symptom, the going to the bottom of the cage..that's not from fat or frustration. I really think it's best to go to the vet school, as there are to many red flags with that other vet sadly.
Also in my opinion , even a grossly over weight bird, would be able to land. They might have trouble getting lift, or flying a long way. But they would still be able to control flight and land. Just like a person who was really overweight couldn't run far, but they wouldn't stumble into things and fall down.
Also I haven't heard you say you got a scale, and have started to weigh every bird, and keep a log. Something easy to do, and I hope you will.
