How do you know if a birds wing is broken?

Answer 1

If a bird has a broken wing it will most likely be seen on the ground and climbing trees. It climbs to a mid portion of the tree to get away from ground predators and hawks that may make a tasty meal out of the bird.

Now if this is your pet bird i suggest taking him/her out of the cage and gently, gently toss him in the air to see if him/her takes flight. If the bird tumbles out of the air it is most likely the bird does have a broken wing. And i suggest tossing the bird towards something like a bed for a soft landing if he/she tumbles.

Answer 2

you can tell because it will start limping.

Sometimes a broken leg will have an abnormal 'lump' where the bone is sticking out, and sometimes the birds leg will bleed if it has been injured and the skin has pierced.

Seek an avian vet if you feel as if your bird is majorly injured. Sometimes a vet can splint it and with a few weeks the birds leg will go back to normal almost.

Answer 3

one wing is lower than the other
