My parakeet flew into something hard and is bleeding. Will it live?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male

I went to clean my budgies cage last night and it flew and hit a metal cabinet really hard, it bled on its beak, so I washed the blood away gently w/ a spray bottle that I use to bathe them. it's not straight tap water. it got stunned, it won't grab my finger until a few minutes after and it barely grabbed on the perches, I placed it on the floor of the cage with millets in front of it and went to a friend's house. Vets are closed due to COVID-19. Will it be alive by the time I go check on it?

It sounds like Emperya is badly injured. Without examining him and knowing what injuries have happened, it would be impossible to tell if he would make it. Many vets are still open for emergency situations, so it is best to contact your vet or an emergency clinic ASAP to get him in for care.
