My baby parrot fell. Why can't he walk or stand on his legs now?

Question

Hi, I have a baby Kakariki parot he still has some pin feathers. He fell approximately 70 cm in hight. Their is no visible signs of a break no blood no wounds or scratches, but he won't walk or stand on his legs he still try's to walk and climb but can't seem to put all his weight on his little legs. I'm just worried, will he be able to walk again. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 0.022 lbs

Birds have hollow bones, which enable them to fly, but this also means that they are very fragile and break easy. you will need to take Lurch to an avian vet ASAP in order to check if any of his legs are broken, if they are he might require surgery.
