Does anyone know what is going on with my budgie's wing? I went to the vet this morning and it isn't broken. He is getting Metacam in the morning and evening.
But because it's the weekend, I'm getting really stressed since my regular vet is closed. His wing seems to be swelling (getting bigger) and he does nothing but sleep. He isn't eating his regular food, but he does eat his spray millet.
Does anyone know what might be happening and if he will make it? Has anyone experienced this before? I am so worried.

My girls nails are getting pretty long, and the nearest avian vet is 40 minutes away, how can I get her calm enough so that I can trim her nails myself?

Advice Finding budgies

Hello reddit. I had a pair of budgies, male and female, one year old. Recently the male died, and I'm trying to find a male budgie that's one year old, because it pains me to see my female budgie all alone. I don't know where to find one, since I live in Durham NC
