My bird hit the ceiling fan and fell. What should I do for her?

When a bird is hit by a fan, they are often in a great deal of pain. They can get broken bones, and also trauma to their brains. These can all cause them to be weak and quiet. I would recommend taking Mithu to a veterinary clinic as soon as you can. They will perform an exam to see where she is injured, and may recommend radiographs (x-rays) to check for broken bones. They can start medications to ease her pain, and may start antibiotics as well. Please don’t give Mithu any human medications at home, as many of these are harmful to birds. If she has any broken bones, there is the potential that she may not fly again. Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon!

Thanks for reaching out about Koko and including a photo. With the fall, there are worries about a fractured limb (likely a leg). You might have to travel to the vet as this is probably beyond what can be done at home. A warm environment, remove perches to prevent further falling. Diet needs to be appropriate to facilitate bone growth, healing and health. Is there a wildlife rehabilitation group local that can help? Good luck.

Unfortunately, the best course of action when a bird is injured is to seek veterinary care ASAP. Even if you do not have a specific avian vet, it is best to see if there are any vets in your area that could take a look. Internal injuries could be present that could be affecing Indi's ability to eat or perform normal behaviors. Until you can get to the vet, or if you can't get to one, the best course of action is to keep Indi in a calm, quiet and warm hospital cage with low perches and easy access to food and water to minimize any further injury. However, if he doesn't perk back up, he needs to be seen in person by a professional as soon as possible.

If she can still fly then it is not broken, it's probably just painful, it will likely get better within a few days, try to keep her rested in her cage most of the time until it starts getting better.

Thanks for reaching out about Tweety. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. Monitor food and water intake. If there is the possibility of internal damage, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess. Good luck.

Thanks for sending the picture. i would not worry about wrapping the wing, but I would follow up with a veterinarian soon. Trauma to the wing is repaired better earlier than later. Make sure your pet bird is still eating well. Good luck.

Oh no! So sorry to hear this happened. If she is acting normally, eating and drinking, etc. then I don't think it is imperative to take her to the vet. Just monitor her closely for any signs of illness and definitely take her in if that happens. As for the marks on her, you can use this spray on them if you want to but they aren't actually abrasions as the skin appears intact. It is only where the feathers have been removed and the should grow back with no issues.
