Bent wing

[Hrmn]

I need some help on how to handle a bent or misplaced long wing. Esteban is really honked off. He will get it back in place for a while, but it usually ends up pointed staight out forward again. Wing is still firmly attached. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My only advice is to take your bird to a certified avian veterinarian ASAP.

Is it his wing or a flight feather? If it is truely his wing then a vet visit is in order. If it is one of his flight feathers that is the problem then again a vet visit to have it safely removed would be the best thing sense most fights are also blood feathers.

Thanks......I mis-wrote, it is just one of his long flight feathers.

Thanks.....took Esteban to the vet, and he's fine. Pulled the feather with a hemostat. He's much happier. He'd broken the quill.

That's good that it was just a broken flight and not something worse.

Glad he's ok and it was just a feather and not his wing!
