Thanks for reaching out about Chuck. Does he seem to be in pain? Is he perching? A veterinary visit is recommended to assess for injury, as fractures need to be set, bruises need to be soothed and other problems addressed. Try removing perches and place a soft towel on bottom. Move food and water to within reach. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F might give some comfort but is not a treatment in itself. Good luck.
