My parrot has hit furnitures

[Rooreo]

My parrot has hit furnitures when she left cage for the first time. He was lying on the floor for few seconds before she flied for a short period to land on the bed, he was breathing heavily for few minutes. I took him back to cage, his breath calmed but since he climbed on the stick he doesn't eat, drink and closes his eyes from time to time. Stays calm in one place and doesn't react for anything. What should I do?

Keep him calm as possible. Keep the room dim, quiet and warm (not hot and NOT heated by something with teflon/PTFE/PFOA)
He is probably in shock...Is there any blood or swelling?
How long has he been like this?

Hello, and welcome to the Parrot Forums family! I wish it were under better circumstances, though.

My advice is that you take your bird to the vet as soon as possible. (A certified avian vet if at all possible.) Granted, there is apparently little a vet can do for concussive type injuries, but there are any number of other kinds of damage she may have suffered. Not to mention that, depending on how long it's been since she has eaten, she may be at risk in that sense as well.

Yes- birds can have blood-sugar issues very easily if they do not eat often enough. The only reason I worry about a vet is the added stress that may cause (but I do think I would take mine in). If you do, again, keep the bird as calm as possible....

Hello, thank you all for your help. Everything is fine now. It took him around 2 hours to get fine. Now he's eating, drinking and happily jumping on the sticks in his cage. He's not showing any alarming symptoms so I guess everything is fine. Thank you again.

YAY!

Now that he is doing better, when you let him out of his cage, did you try to force him onto you, or did you allow him to climb out on his own (without anyone trying to touch him). It seems like he was scared (based on what happened).
Despite this incident, he DOES need to be out of his cage daily if it can be done safely. --if he slams into things without people touching him, then wait until trust is established.
I let mine out for many months without ever making her step up or even touching her, so it can be done.

Does he have toys in his cage?

Birds often act disoriented, confused and not as active as normal after a crash. Especially if it was caused because the bird panic flew into something. Unless a wing or foot or something is broken, there is little a vet can do. Usually putting the bird back in it’s cage, ensuring fresh water and food are available and half covering the cage or turning the lights in the room low so it can rest and recover is often the best course of action.

I am going to guess your bird is newer and not used to people or it’s environment yet. It would be advisable to not let your bird out of the cage again until you build some trust up and allow the bird time to adjust to its new surroundings. Better the bird to be safe in its cage for a few weeks while it settles in and you get to know each other than panic flying around the room and getting injured or worse. Let us know if you need further instruction n how to start building trust with your bird while it’s inside the cage.
