Hi
Can anyone advise
Last night when I shut the budgies in the night quarter of the aviary, I found one young one (Born earlier this year) on the floor of the flight, she could not fly, did walk around as I tried to catch her, she was fluffed up, also may have been in a scrap with one of the others as feathers in head ruffled, also her long tail feather is missing.
I bought her inside the house, kept her in the warm last night with the light on. She is eating but still fluffed up and seems to be sleeping a lot. She has eaten some Trill and millet and has been drinking.
Any ideas please, as to what I should give her
Many thanks
Chris

Perhaps it is a chill Chris and we use our guestimate meds, heat at approx 35 degrees farhenhite , isolation , a crop tube feed of exact rearing food, served at 35 f, guardine angel in the water , water is important as the bird will dehydrate and die .

Thanks for your replies
I have placed her cage next to radiator and she has been eating a bit and has had a drink. I put some vitamin drops in water this afternoon
