Hi, I got home from work and my 7 year old cockatiel, Aster, has an injury. He seems to have injured his face. Not sure how, no recent incidents I can think of.
His right eye is swollen, his right nostril hand dried blood in it, he seems to have difficulty eating seed. I gave him some cooked egg yolk and some rice. He ate some.
He is our only bird. He hasn’t his wings clipped. I can’t recall him flying into anything recently. He stays in his cage while we are at work, no evidence of disturbance to his cage. My only thoughts are maybe he freaked out at something and flew/slammed around in his cage while we were away.
I want to know if anyone’s seen anything like this before. I plan to keep hand feeding him and take him to the Vet tomorrow. I live a good distance away from any vet that treats birds.
He still acts like himself and is alert, but more tired (likely from eating less) and obviously in some pain. It almost looks like his eye is dented in or something...?
