u/Cosmic_cockatiel

I usually hate "do I need a vet" posts, but everyone around me is saying he's just in shock and will be okay. And the vets aren't open yet.

I was in the shower and I heard a pretty hard bang. I assumed one of them had to have knocked something over, but it sounded quite hard so I put on a bathrobe to check. He was on the floor, motionless, no sounds at all. I picked him/her up and he climbed onto my shoulder rather slowly.

I tried giving millet, he would take a bite then stare in the distance, up at the ceiling for a bit looking zoned out, then take another bite. He is quite responsive, but keeps closing his eyes. He's standing on one foot so it can be he's just tired (he just woke up two hours ago though) he keeps looking up or with his head tilted now and then and suddenly grabs and licks objects. Is this "just" shock or can it be he flew into the door that hard that theres something wrong with his brain?

My baby is missing toes and nails. I already have two (healthy) cockatiels, and I want to put this chick and its sibling (missing some nails and looks like a toe has been broken before) in the bigger cage with my other two cockatiels. They have had a lot of supervised time together and they seem to get along pretty okay. How can I arrange the cage so s/he can move around as comfortable as possible? I already have three (still need to place the last one) and I will place the bridges accordingly, I hooe s/he can stand on that.

I dont know if anyone remembers us, but I got these two wayy too early, from a bad breeder (I didnt support him, got them for free) Theyre missing nails/toes, but theyre adapting so so well. I couldnt be more proud

They refuse to eat formula now! Even naikel is reluctant. Should I force them or do they eat enough? (Seeds, pellets, eggfood, vegetables)
