Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Male | 2 years and 4 months old | 0.19 lbs

Hello, so my cockatiel got freaked out by something today and he started flying around in a super fast way then crashed into a mirror and fell down, he doesnt seem to have any issues or bleeding but he got very sleepy and kept cleaning around his neck.. Should i be concerned about it or could it be something serious? Thanks..

Thanks for reaching out about Kody. A veterinary visit would be a good idea to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. A concussion or neck injury are possible. Monitor appetite and water consumption. If a cooler evening, provide heat support in a 80-85 F range. Good luck.
