My two month old bird has a bruised leg and I don't know what to do. She still walks on that leg but only when she needs to. Otherwise she doesn't stand on it. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

It is possible that Angie had trauma to her leg. If she did get soft tissue injury this usually resolves with time. However a bruise can also be due to a fracture, bleeding issue or infection. I would recommend taking her to a vet to determine the cause of the bruise and also start her on pain medication for better control of pain/comfort.
