My bird's wing droops, and he struggles to fly. Is it serious?

Question

He has problems flying and his wing is extendened when in a relaxed pose, should I be concerned and should I watch out for other signs of a more serious condition or just a sprained wing? Thank you. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 3 years and 4 months old

This is usually a sign of a wing injury, if he can still fly then the wing is not broken. if the problem does not resolve within a week i would recommend taking him to an avian vet specialist in order to get it checked and treated.
