My conure was hit by a fan. Does she need a vet for her marks?

Hi, flying into a ceiling fan can cause major injuries to a bird, especially a small one. At home all you can do is put her in a warm quiet environment and make sure she eats and drinks. Anything beyond that you will need to take her to the vet.

She likely was disoriented afterwards and has since recovered. She should be fine going forward. Monitor for lethargy or difficulty perching in the future and have her examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian if necessary.

Hi there, These wounds appear superficial from the photograph. It would be best to have him seen by a doctor familiar with birds for a full physical to ensure he doesn't have any underlying bruises or fractures from the fights. They can also discuss best husbandry and care practices with you for long term health. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck to you and your new friend!

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 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.

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 Rio. If he only lost feathers, they should re-grow and he should be fine. The concerns would be if he has any head trauma or a skin laceration. For these, he needs to be seen by a veterinarian. Good luck.
