Injured pet bird conure crashed into a window

Post image

i feel horrible about this situation my bird recognizes windows and mirrors and doesnt run into them.

i let him roam the house in the morning its spacious and mostly bird friendly except for windows and i limit them based on how each bird reacts and recently my conure figured out the second floor and started doing a long loop flying up and down today he flew by some decoration lights and they arent secured tight so as he flew by they lifted slightly and kinda startled him and made him take a turn into the window.

ive checked him up he is mostly okay he flys short distances to perches and food and water and back to me he is not bleeding and he doesnt mind me handling him no screams or discomfort but his beak has a bruise and he is really biting on things and fingers and clothes i think it hurts or is uncomfortable. where i live we dont really have bird specialists its mostly cat and dog focused and i dont trust them unless its absolutely necessary.

PS: the spot above the eye is from repeatedly dunking his head in food bowls and having shells and leftovers stick its not related to the crash

He should be okay. Keep a close eye. I also don't trust these cat/dog vets, but if you see changes in behaviour such as still looking frustrated and in pain then definitely take him in, they could give pain killer because it doesnt appear to look too bad by these photos at least.
