HELP (concerned about my cockatiel)

[captsquark]

Hello! I need help,
Right now it’s too late to visit a vet in Aus (7pm and I live in a rural area with one vet that is closed currently I am going into tomorrow)
my cockatiels right wing looks out of the body a little?
He has his wings clipped when I got him so as a result he’ll get spooked and break his tail feathers and I think he might’ve injured his wing when he fell from my lap. He’s a tamed cockatiel and he loves to be held so I checked both sides and the right seems fine when checking it (while comparing it to the left) He doesn’t react to me feeling it (apart from being mad at me sometimes for touching him below his head) and he doesn’t seem to be in pain. he sings to his favourite song, has been preening as usual (stretching aswell both sides) and eating regularly. So I was wondering what could be possibly wrong? (I’ve attached a photo)

Could have sprained it or otherwise hurt it. Not a whole lot you can do tonight besides make sure he's eating and drinking, I'd think!

I agree with Mizzely. Also, maybe just leave him in his cage until you go to the vet to avoid any additional falls. Line the cage floor with a blanket.
I hope all goes well at the vet

@captsquark, how is your cockatiels wing today?

Thanks for the replies everyone! It seems back to normal but I’m still going in for the checkup regardless :~)

That is excellent news, please let us know how the vet visit goes.

Just wanted to add my two cents. Athena did this weird clutzy thing before she became flighted and would hold one wing oddly. Thought she was injured but she was really just an awkward clutz. If hes still young it could just be tiel clumsyness or if he is clipped. I didn't want Athena clipped but they did it without consulting me. When her flight feathers came in and we started doing flight recall her weird wing hang went away. Also her tail feathers grew in better. Not saying you shouldn't have it looked at though when in doubt see a vet for sure

A feather could also be out of place causing the odd open wing.

Hopefully everything's fine now!
