not clasping foot

Question
my parakeet might have fallen and hurt herself.She is not clasping her foot and just leaning on it.DO you think it will heal?Can she live with it?

Answer
Hello,
If your parakeet is not using her foot, it is hurt. I would take her to the vet as soon as possible. Sorry there is not much to say in this message, only because a parakeet will only refuse to use his/her foot if it is hurt.

Hope this helps :)
