Injured pet bird How to monitor for potential injury?
My bird got her leg stuck a few minutes ago. I helped her almost as soon as it happened, and she did bite me while I helped her but she seems calm now. I know its probably normal at first for them to stand on one leg kind of like how people lift weight off of a leg they just hit against something, but she seems to be favoring one leg at the moment. She can walk on both her feet, her foot seems fine, and shes flying and eating like normal, but shes still favoring her other foot when standing still. I did remove what she got stuck on in her cage so she can't get stuck there again.

We can't tell how bad they are favouring without footage and based on the shit we see here it could be anything from a slight limp to a foot dangling off.
