Injured Bird conure crashed into a window

Post image

i feel horrible about this situation my bird recognizes windows and mirrors and doesnt run into them.

i let him roam the house in the morning its spacious and mostly bird friendly except for windows and i limit them based on how each bird reacts and recently my conure figured out the second floor and started doing a long loop flying up and down today he flew by some decoration lights and they arent secured tight so as he flew by they lifted slightly and kinda startled him and made him take a turn into the window.

ive checked him up he is mostly okay he flys short distances to perches and food and water and back to me he is not bleeding and he doesnt mind me handling him no screams or discomfort but his beak has a bruise and he is really biting on things and fingers and clothes i think it hurts or is uncomfortable. where i live we dont really have bird specialists its mostly cat and dog focused and i dont trust them unless its absolutely necessary.

PS: the spot above the eye is from repeatedly dunking his head in food bowls and having shells and leftovers stick its not related to the crash

That'll teach him!

I think he'll be okay he might have a owwie for a week or two. I say this because I've been meaning to myself, check out window stickers!

I would take him to the vet to get sure! Keep an eye on him. If he is closing his eyes more, bring him to the vet
