She has obviously suffered significant internal damage. The most humane thing to do, especially without access to an avian specialist, would be to have a vet euthanize her.

If you get another bird, please take more care to keep her out of harm's way.

I would have to agree. As a bird owner, it is your responsibility to keep her out of harm's way. If you are unable to get her the appropriate care from an avian vet, I think you should seriously consider what @fluffypoptarts has said.

I am so sorry for this little bird. If you do not have access to an avian vet then please do not have birds as companions. Please relieve this birds pain in a humane way.

I understand that vets where you are may not be versed in avian medicine but I'm guessing that you have access to some of the same medications. It would not be difficult for them to do a literature search and find safe doses for pain medications and antibiotics. This needs to be addressed asap

Oh, the poor little bird!:(I would take it to a regular vet immediately and have them look at your bird to assess the situation. She must be the n terrible pain! Pain meds and antibiotics would be needed at least, but your bird might have too much damage and need to be put down.

I'm always extremely reticent to say to put a bird down - I know from experience that they are unbelievably resilient. You should get your parrot to a vet, any vet, medicine is basically medicine and any vet has resources to refer to.

Get her to a vet and stop the pain, pain in itself is debilitating. She may be much better without the pain and with some antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.

Almost any vet is better than no vet in this particular situation. The pictures make it appear that her insides are pertruding but I think (or hope) maybe this is outside swelling. In any case, she definitely needs a vet. There isn't really anything you can do but keep her warm ,maybe put perches close to bottom of cage so she won't fall. Please know that sometimes pain itself can cause an animal to die. I pray you'll take her to a vet, any vet.

She probably stepped hard on your budgie...i dont understand how this happened as usually birds fly away/jump away from feet/shoes well Baylee does that she jumps away... so its weird...

Thats not fair to say that... i do not have access to avian vet and i do the best i can with Baylee... i have access to normal vets and ask them for advice. Some of them knows basic bird things..

I hope that your budgie will be OK. Hopefully you can get her to the vet so that she can be treated. There are vets who are not avian certified but who are very well versed in treated birds.
