Can my young cockatiel's bruised wing heal on its own or is it broken?

Question

my 5-6 week old cockatiel can't extend his right wing completely. It's been like that for two and half weeks. He also looks like he has a bruise on the front part of his right wing. What would you recommend us to do? do you think his wing is broken? Is it possible for him to heal on his own? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered

Dr. Andrea · Accepted Answer

Your cockatiel's wing may be broken-0 it is hard to say. If he is holding it at an unusual angle or the end is bent, that is a sign it is broken. It could just be badly bruised. A vet can give you meds to help reduce the pain and swelling and take an xray to see if is broken. Young birds can heal well but they may need a little bandage to hold the bones in the correct place
