seizure

Question
Question:
Our male budgie, about 4 yrs. old, seemed to have what appeared to be a seizure
today. He suddenly fell to the floor of his cage and flopped around. At first we
thought he's leg was caught on something because he seemed to not be able to
move that side of his body. I gently picked him up and held him for a few
minutes. He didn't try to bite me, nor did he try to get free. He just quietly
make a low cheeping sound. After a few minutes, my son, his owner, picked him up
and let him sit on his shoulder. We watched him for a while, then he seemed to
go back to being himself again. He groomed himself quite a bit after that. I
don't know if that means anything or not, but I thought all information would
help. Thanks. I really appreciate it.  

Answer
Hi, Meg.  Thanks for posting!

You need to have this bird evaluated by an avian veterinarian ASAP.  When a bird has seizures, it means there is some type of health problem.  Don't go to a dog/cat vet...find an avian vet for the best care for your bird.
