I got her a couple of months ago, but although she preferred to climb instead of fly, her wings seemed normal. I removed her from the enclosure recently and saw that she couldn't comfortably extend her wing completely. I have some images; can you advise me what's wrong? I'm hoping it's a simple fix; I want her able to fly again. I'm planning on taking my girl to visit the vet, but it would be nice to have an idea of what's going on.
I let her have free rein of the floor, and took a video of her. This site doesn't allow video uploads that I can see, so I screenshotted a frame where she actively attempts to spread both her wings. The full clip, she goes to the wall, extends her wings, then falls back onto her back, rights herself, and walks. I caught the image just about where the wings are extended to give you a good idea of her range of motion.
Any help at all is incredibly useful. I've had parakeets since I was very young, but one has never really had a wing problem.
Thank you for your time!
