My budgie won't place his right foot down. He holds it limply up and won't put it down for more than a couple seconds. I am worried he may have injured it by falling or gotten bumble foot. What should I do? He keeps loosing his balance and falling from his ladder cause he won't use the foot. I examined the foot and it is limp and he wouldn't grip with it like the other one. Do you think it could be broken, bumble foot or just sore from falling?
