My budgie is quiet and sleepy after a perch fell. Is he injured?

Question

So we arent sure what's going on with budgie. Last night and this morning before I went to work, he was active and chirping. Today, we come home from work, one of his perches were knocked down and he normally chirps when we come in. Now, he isnt making any noise, doesnt try to fly. Right now, hes sitting with my husband, and just fell asleep. We're considering taking him to a vet, but want to see if it's something that we dont know of.

Thanks for reaching out about your budgie. Trauma can be very stressful and will result in being quiet and scared. The concern is that he is quiet and falling asleep. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give comfort. Try offering a little water via a syringe or shallow bowl. Good luck.
