Question
Leg of cockatiel is apparently injured.  She can't put weight on it, it rests at an angle.  No apparent broken bones; hip seems to be in joint ok?  What can make her more comfortable?

Answer
Hello,
I do not know what type of perches you have for your bird, so I can't tell you what could be wrong. But I would definitely take this bird to a vet as soon as possible. If you can't afford the vet bill, then you should have never got a bird. :/

Sorry,
Carly
Hope this helps.
