My 12-year-old lovebird is limping, weak, and sleeping. What's wrong?

Question

Hello, my love bird is 12 years old and has been walking with a limped toe. He’s also been sleeping a lot and acting very weak to the point where he doesn’t fly anymore or talk as much.. please let me know what is wrong? Thank you. Pet's info: Bird | Lovebird | Male | 12 years and 1 month old

Poor Turri! It sounds as if the injured toe/foot is causing him some distress and pain which could be why he is showing other symptoms of illness. If he is limping and also acting ill, it would be best to bring him to a vet ASAP so that the foot can be examined and treated, and any other underlying conditions ruled out to help get him feeling better. Until you can get to your vet, keeping him warm, with low, flat perches that are easy to stand on and food and water dishes that can easily be climbed in and out of may help make him more comfortable.
