My parakeets leg suddenly went limp. What’s going on?

[FathertoFeathers]

I woke up this morning and noticed that my parakeet Tiki was sitting funny on his leg. I thought maybe he’s just being weird or something and didn’t think anything of it until I let him fly around my room and noticed his leg wasn’t working at all. He was dragging himself along the top of his cage because his leg isn’t working. He was completely fine yesterday and I have no clue what’s going on or how to help. Can anyone help me?

It's most likely injured. Can you take him to a vet?

I had a budgie who's was sticking out to the side. I ended up finding out it was broken.

Take it to an avian vet if possible.

I wish I could take it to a vet but there aren’t any close to me. The nearest one is almost two hours away and I don’t have the money to take him right now. I don’t think it’s broken because his leg isn’t swollen or bruised and when I move his leg he doesn’t act like it hurts him. It’s like his leg got paralyzed over night. I have no clue what could’ve happened to him.

What is your cage?
Does it have aviary mesh?

Here’s their cage

Ok.
Possibly caught it's leg through the bars.
I've kept budgies before and they do tend to hold onto the bars at night.
Sorry, I wouldn't be able to help you.

My budgie didn't have any bruises or appear to be in any pain either.

What did your vet have you do to help?
