I know everybody says he is probably fine but I am just so worried about cookie, he flew across the living room back-and-forth again and he stumbled a little bit he couldn't land perfectly but his flight was fine. When he landed back in his cage his wing was still hanging a little bit lower than the other one actually quite a lot lower than the other one but I think it might just been because he just flew so it was a little sore, I am really afraid his wing might be broken I know it could just be strained, but if it was strained would this be how he was acting, such as flying but trying not to, letting his wing hang lower than the other, I am just so scared, and again he flew fine but once he landed I could tell it was hurting him. He didn't make any noises either , like he didn't scream or anything. I know that people have already answered I'm just really worried.
Thanks so much.
 
If you're concerned, have him x-rayed, or at least checked out by an avian vet. Until then, I would not allow him to fly around, so he won't cause further injury to the one he already has.
 
Amy, my Blue Front,sometimes takes flight,especially if something frightens her. She doesn't fly much,so I think she is not accustomed to it.
Sometimes she crashes into the floor,other times into "things" :-((

She has held one of her "arms" down at times,noticably lower than the other.
I would immediately pick her up and extend,very carefully,her hanging arm and see if she yells at me or shows discomfort. Usually within a half hour or so,it is back where it belongs.
Try this with your 'zon..if he doesn't fuss or object to you extending his arm to check it,let him re cooperate in his cage. If after a half hour or so,he is still favoring that arm..take him to his doctor.
Just my .02 cents.
