My budgie flies crooked and crashes. What's wrong with her wings?

Question

My budgie has been able to fly since I bought her, now she flies on an angle and crashes into familiar objects in the house. What could be wrong with her (I know it's probably a wing problem) and how could I help her improve? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed

Lauren Kennedy, DVM · Accepted Answer

You are probably correct in that your bird has suffered some sort of wing injury. I would recommend taking her to be evaluated by your veterinarian and possibly having X-rays performed to see if any of her bones are fractured. I would also recommend that you trim her wings for now to keep her from flying and further injuring herself.
