Hi everyone! So, today Addie wriggled out of the cage between my fingers when I was changing her food, and she proceeded to fly around the house a lot, chirping happily. As usual when she does this (little escape artist! I swear, wherever their heads fit, their whole entire body does, too XD) I tried luring her back in the cage with some millet. However, it didn't work this time, and I tried several times to do this before giving up on this. Of course, because of this, I had to kind of manhandle her to get her back into the cage.
I've had to do this before, but this time, when she landed into the cage and flew onto her top perch, she fluffed up immediately, but her feathers didn't go back down, and she's still fluffed up. Her beak is clicking a lot too but you can't hear beak grinding noises and now she's making these little whimpering noises. I know usually these things mean that they're content, but I'm super worried that something bad happened to her, that maybe she broke a bone or something or that I hurt her when I grabbed her. She usually chirps a lot and she hasn't chirped once since I grabbed her... I'm worried that something happened. Please help!!
