Question
one day i saw my bird just fall to the floor.  When i looked closely i say that she couldn't walk on one leg.  She was trying to climb up the cage to her stick and needed help.  She just had an egg but still cant stand on one of her legs.  What should i do? Will she be ok?

Answer
Hi, Florijan.  Thanks for posting!

I don't know if your bird will be OK or not...I need more details about what is going on in your situation.  What was your bird doing when she just fell to the floor?  When was the egg laid?  Is she still not able to stand on one of her legs?  Does your bird have a mate?  Was there any blood on the egg that was laid?  Do you see any part of an egg sticking out from your bird's bottom (vent)?  Is your bird able to perch at all or is she staying on the cage bottom?

The more information you can provide, the better I can help you and your bird.
