My green cheek conure was briefly trapped in a box. Is she hurt?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Female

My green cheek conoure was trying her new box out so see if she would fit but the lid closed as she was inside and so she tried to get out of the small gap there and was in their for maybe 3 seconds maximum and I fear she might have gotten hurt in the process of trying to squeeze her way out. She didn't get stuck but she couldn't get through. Could she of gotten hurt do you think or will she be okay

I imagine if it was only a short time and she didn't get stuck then she will be physically fine but possibly a little stressed. I would let her settle in quiet area and keep an eye on her. If she shows any sign of injury it would be best to take her to an avian vet.
