Guys, I've done something stupid!

I was picking up each bird and seeing if they are a boy or a girl by the way they chirp. They make more noise when you take them away from their friends... anyways, I dropped one and now she is panting and has a limp wing...

Is there anything I can do for her?

Here is a picture... You can see the wing is slightly lower that it should be. I feel awful!

I hope I'm not posting too late. How far was the drop? It could be that she's in shock, given the panting. If that's the case, you need to wrap her in something and keep her close to clam her. I doubt the wing's broken from just a fall. I'd say it's sprained if it's even injured at all. If so, wrap her wings to her body with some ace bandages, and maybe give her something for the pain. Poor little thing.

Don't worry, teradragon, I'm sure we're all guilty of mucking something up and hurting a bird in the process. I know I am.

I'm only 5'2 so maybe 4ft? I've left her in with the others and I've seen her eat and drink. They are all quiet so I think she'll be ok. I don't want to cause any extra stress or pain by bandaging... Hmmm.

 

[Cheyen]

4ft isn't a very serious drop, even for something as small and delicate as a button. Is she still panting? How's her wing look?

 

[teradragon]

No panting... think this one is her. I'm glad that they are all lazy, means I don't have to separate them I guess...

 

[Cheyen]

I think you just scared her. If her wing isn't drooping anymore, I wouldn't worry about it. She's a cutie, glad she's feeling better.

 

[teradragon]

hmmm... it is still drooping, but no panting and she is foraging about with the others. I'll keep an eye on her.

Thanks for the advice. I just needed someone elses input!
