Frankii :(

[squeekz1992]

I think my poor Frankii may have broken his wing or at least sprained it

He flew into the wall and took quite a tumble today.
Frankii and Monkii are technically Jared's birds, so we haven't clipped their wings regularly. I warned him but he loves watching them fly. Today Frankii flew into the wall Now he squeels like a car alarm if you try to touch him.

I owned Frankii for about 2 weeks before he was Jared's so I'm quite attached to the little turd.

We are leaving him alone for a couple of days before freaking out just to be sure it isn't just a muscle spasm

His wing is broken The poor baby was screaming his head off when I checked it out.

What can I do besides low stress? Mom says he won't fly again, but with the way he is holding it it should heal just fine.

I feel so bad for my baby

So sorry to hear your baby is hurt

 

[squeekz1992]

Thanks I feel so bad for him. I don't really know what to do and the bird vet in my area is AWFUL so I have to see what I can do by myself. It is heartbreaking that he won't fly again

 

[Hoj]

Sorry I dont know anything about birds, what type is he?

 

[squeekz1992]

He's a parakeet. or African Budgie I think is his proper name

Aww I'm so sorry! I had one when I was younger. Her name was Budgie(I'm SO creative haha). I never dealt with anything like that, though! Have you tried googling it and seeing if you can find some solutions? I would just be worried about it healing wrong and causing pain or something. Is there not another avian vet in your area?

Haha that's cute!! No, not really. I know if I brace it it will (theoretically) help with the pain he feels, but I feel awful touching him cuz he sounds like an alarm No, the only other avian vet is 5hrs away. I will google it and see if I can coband it to his body. He holds it in the (close to) right position, But I'm worried to stress him

Update

Frankii has finally stopped screaming whenever you go near him, and his wing is quivering less now.

Does anyone know how to brace it? Or should I even at all? He is holding it the same as the other wing, but about a 2 or 3 cm gap between his wing and torso

what I did when my pocket parrot broke his wing was put it in its "natural" position, and tape it there. Not so it's sprawled out, but folded in. Took about 6 weeks for him to heal. Sometimes a vet is a good idea. Maybe if you even gave one a call? Hope he's doing better. Best wishes

I think I miss diagnosed it. I think he sprained it, whenever he tries to fly it sticks out for a minute or two and then goes back to normal position
