Budgie’s foot

I don’t have an avian vet in my area so I thought I’d ask here before making the drive to see if anyone’s been through this - I’m definitely still taking him though. My budgie’s foot was fine he started limping a little then it got bad. He puts very light pressure on it, because i think he gets tired holding it up most of the day:( He eats good and flys, but he sleeps more now. I’ll attach some pictures. Does it look like he needs a vet, or is it something that heals on its own?

I’d say take him to the vet! Hope he’s okay

Especially without evidence of bumblefoot/sores, a suddenly lame leg can be a sign of a tumor in the abdomen. Truly hope that isn't what it is, but only a vet can tell you for sure.
