My cockatiel won't stand up, but still eats. What could be wrong?

Question

My cockatiel is not standing. It still acts like its self and eats. At first I thought it broke its wing but realized it can’t stand

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

There is a possibility that he has a renal tumor that is pressing on the femoral nerve making it unable to stand. There may be other causes. It is a very general sign, so you should take your bird to an avian veterinarian for an exam and treatment.
