I have been caring for a bird that fell out of its nest in my front yard just over a week ago. But today I noticed his right wing looks like its irritating him. I had a look and saw a very large, sore looking lump, right where one of the feathers stick into the wing.
I did notice that feather has been sitting funny for the past 1-2 days.
I called the vet, but can't see anyone that deals with birds until Thursday.
Does anyone know what this is?
What caused it?
And what to do about it? (At least until I can get to the vet)
He can still use his wing, he flaps on the spot and flys short distances from his nest to my knee.
Thanks in advance.
