Injured foot

[snowball]

I feel like this is my fault

I've been ill all week and my mum has been feeding the birds. I didn't notice that she hasn't been locking the feeders properly and today found one of my birds stuck in the feeder hole with her foot hanging out the cage.

I managed to get a teatowel to hold her still and got her foot out. She climbed up the side of the cage (using both feet) and has gone back down and sat on one leg, looking rather grumpy on the main perch since. She's currently pecking at her cage buddy whenever he goes near her.

I'm assuming the foot isn't broken as I've seen her use it? Is there anything I need to do? She seems quite mobile, I'm just worried that she'll go into shock or something

It depends on how bad the foot has been hurt but you should try not to let her touch it with her beak and make it bleed. Can you post a picture?

As long as the skin hasn't been broken, if there are no obvious breaks (bones) she has more than likely just strained it or sprained it. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't aggravate it - if the other birds are a hassle, put her into a cage on her own, so she can be kept a little quiet.
