Hurt Budgie

[deedee53]

My Budgie got his foot hurt yesterday morning. He still uses it but not like normal. He holds it up when standing on it. He likes to talk into my cell phone, I have a small thin one he likes, I went to move it and then it fell onto his right foot. He limps when he walks on it. He can still curl his toes up inside where you can’t see them so that tells me it’s not broken at least. I see some bruising today at the end of his leg where the toes meet. He can still fly and land fine. I’m thinking he got a bad bruise. Will it heal up back to normal?

A bruise on a bird heals just the same as a bruise on a human. It may take a week or so before he stops favouring it but there would appear to be nothing preventing the return of full use to the foot.
