Geebs, my cockatiel, is clipped and slowly growing her wings back in, but we didn't expect her to be so good at flying so quickly. Today, something dropped and she was so startled that she flew around the room and straight into our glass door. She fell about four feet.
She climbed up to my shoulder and sat there for ten minutes recovering before she finally came down. She is extremely puffy and her eyes are dropping like she wants to go to sleep. After I got her down, I noticed a red patch between her nostrils in the middle of her cere. I'm not sure if it's blood exactly, but it definitely wasn't there before. I'm worried she has a concussion, but I'm so unfamiliar with that in birds and right now I just don't want her to fall asleep. She is not acting like herself. She is usually very energetic and fiesty and she's turned sluggish. She tried to preen her wings, and it looked normal but just in slow motion. Everything she's doing is slow.
Help!! I'm trying to get an appointment with the vet, but it's so difficult where I live. What should I do in the meantime? How can I keep her safe till then? It's been about an hour and I'm watching her movements.
