Help! Melon was twitch and having wing spasms. I've also been told he went behind my tv and fell. I've been watching videos and they said they were a result of a seizure. Plus he hasnt been able to fly very far, he's hasnt been clipped. I don't know what to do, it's to late to go to a vet. Help! I'm scared.

Seizures put a lot of stress on a bird's body. place him in a box in a dark, quiet, warm room and keep him there until he seems normal. he may recover with some time and fluids however a vet will still help. provide water but no food for now. keep updated?

With seizures there is not much or anything thst. Can be done.
My budgie post head trauma hsd them for month or longer until.he passed....it was awful to see him suffer ...tge vet said nothing could be done but euthanasia.....when it got bad I decided thst would be a kindness but he passed thst night...
Its not much comfort but really glad you didn't and he didn’t have to suffer so long as mine. I really regret letting my suffer.

I wish you could have had longer together, but its never long enough with our loves.
Big hugs to you
