I apologize if this is in the wrong area but Iām new to the forum.
I appreciate all help and advice.
My princess parrot is 4months old and very very clumsy, he has no sense. I left his cage door open as I do regularly and he either decided to jump out the open door or fell out. His wings were clipped by the people I got him from who assured me he could fly safely to the floor. He has fallen before after trying to get to me and I usually just go get him and he goes back inside or he stays on me however this time when I went to pick him up he was holding his wing up and made this faint crying noise. I am so worried, he kept making this crying noise with his wing held up but then would put his wing down and chirp normally and accepted treats, but when moving around his cage or on me his wing would go up and he would cry again. He even started to eat some food and moved around his cage but at times his wing goes up and he cries and comes to me for comfort. I couldnāt see any blood and he has a large feather on that wing which could very well just be out of place and uncomfortable but his crying has me quite concerned and he wonāt let me touch or have a look to be sure. I put him inside and covered his cage to give him some peace and quiet and is more relaxed. Iām just very torn as he was eating and chirping and taking treats but then his wing would go up and heād cry and become very unbalanced while it was up and nearly fall over (like I said very clumsy). His wing isnāt drooping and is sitting normally and identical to his uninsured wing, itās only when he lifts it does it seem to cause pain or discomfort as he would cry? I just checked on him and heās at the bottom of his cage eating and playing with some toys. Please tell me what you guys think, I donāt have a great deal of experience but his door will remain closed if Iām not there from now on. I mainly left it open because our previous bird loved to just sit and watch us from on his cage but this one is too clumsy to even sit somewhere. I was going to just leave him be for today and see how he goes tomorrow in terms of contacting a vet since he seems to be improving but please let me know what you think.
