Hi everyone!
My lovebird was spooked by a sound and was heading to a slightly opened window and hit the window. She was a bit dazed but now is still eating drinking and active. Should I bring her to a vet for a check-up? I'm just concerned

I think a description of how she acts dazed might help other members. :)

I would just keep an eye out , shes probably ok if shes normal now. It happens to the best of them. If she doesn't know windows or mirrors yet you might want to take her around and have her peck and explore each one.

If she's still dazed in an hour, I'd start getting worried.

Watch her closely, if you feel she isnt right, then trust your gut.
I hope my gut is right that she isn't hurt..... This happened to my Eclectus too as she was spooked and flew into her cage and her wing was a bit twisted... She was wing flipping. So now I just have to watch them right?

Okay I will keep a watch on both of my birds as they had an accident today...

LIke witha person with a concussion keep a eye on them and see if they get dizzy while perched or tired more than usual . Best thing is go with your gut suggestion curtains over windows and any exposed mirror's ..
