My cockatiel has a sprained wing. How can I help her fly again?

Question

Hi. We have a cockatiel who recently injured her wing due to stress. We went to a vet and got an x-ray done. It showed that a birds wing is sprained and that the bone started growing wrongly. We cannot fly and doctor said surgery is not right for Thai type of bird. What can be done about this. May be excersise? Or relaxation techniques to fix he wing? Xrays attached. The bird feels no pain when touching the wing she has no reaction. All other organs are fine. Thank you

If the wing is hanging down it should be bandaged to his body to stabilize it until healed. This could take a month or two. There are many ways to do this. It is best for your vet to do it so you don’t make it too tight but you can google and watch you tube videos on how to do this. He needs to stay in the cage, don’t even let him attempt to fly until the wing is healed.
