Hi this is my first time posting.
I have a 5 year old male cockatiel named Luna. For a long time now he has had an issue with one of his wings, to me it seems infected and he seems in a lot of pain, I have taken him to the vets and they have done blood tests but they all came back fine and I feel like they aren't being helpful but this is the only avarian vet near me... I feed him a variety of foods such as leafy greens, chop, seeds and pellets... I'm just so lost and I can't bare to see him in pain like this.. does anyone have any idea what this is and what I can do to help? (That isn't his usually cage just the small cage I take him out in to get some sun.)
