My budgie is quiet and sleepy after a perch fell. Is he injured?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
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.

Thanks for reaching out about Cutie and including photos. Cutie needs to be presented to a veterinary clinic, as this appears critical. Remove perches and give a soft towel on bottom of cage. Ensure that food and water are within reach. Heat support in the 80-85 F range might give some assistance. See your veterinarian. Good luck

Thanks for reaching out about Pin, but a veterinary visit is needed and diagnostic testing performed. This will help with determining a prognosis. Providing heat support can give some aid, but is not a cure. Good luck.
