Bird flew into wall

Postby Midnight » Sat Feb 06, 2016 3:40 pm

Hello, have a seven month old conure who got scared and flew into a wall. She was not flying fast at all but she did hit it and then flew down to the floor. She is eating fine and is acting pretty normal. She is not bleeding and she even jumped from her perch to another one. Do you think I need to visit a vet immediately or should I let her rest and keep an close eye on her?

Thanks
Midnight

I think you pretty well answered your question. It is better for them to learn about flying into things while thry are young.

Very true lol I got banned from another forum for saying that same thing happened a woman got a new baby ringneck and he was flying into walls and I told her not to clip that he will stop flying into walls soon he is in a unfamiliar place so its normal for him to fly into things and she got him clipped and they clipped the secondary feathers too.

Clipped birds get injured all the time so it doesn't make sense.

Clipped birds can also still fly away lol.Most problems flighted birds have can easily be dealt with without clipping them.Its also very silly to ban someone from a forum for giving advice because someone was having trouble with their flighted bird and then decides to get them clipped.

You should make long videos I prefer your longer ones.Maybe make a video show people what they are missing out on and how fun flighted birds are.

Ha, that is stupid that they kicked you out for helping someone.

I agree Midnight, just lept her keep on flying, my gcc had alot of crashes when learning to fly but now she is great at flying (still crashes when she has a panic flight and dosent know where she is going, but that happens like once every 6 months only), yours also will stop having crashes, he/she is just learning how to use his/her wings. :thumbsup:

Yeah I guess I did answer my own question. I've just seen so many posts where parrots fly into walls and the owner didn't realize what was wrong at first but when they noticed it was already too late. I'm new to birds so I just wanted to make sure she was ok :) thanks
